True, 34nm SLC is very common for last gen enterprise ssd. but ya know, the beat marches on....onwards and upwardsIt will use 34nm SLC NANDs, which is pretty common for high-end enterprise SSDs due to SLC's much better endurance.how many more 34nm devices do you think they are going to release in the furture? seeing as it is all going 25nm MLC.
someone needs to corrrect this Kristian Vatto dude who wrote this and teach him the difference between an SSD and an PCIe device.
hmm... the last gen SLC used in that thar card is only 10X more durable than the 25nm MLC-HET. so the 36x number bandied about a bit recently wasn't quite up to snuff.The 720 Series promises up to 36PB (yes, as in 36000TB) of 8KB writes for the 400GB SSD. That is nearly 1000 times more durable than 25nm MLC and over 10 times more durable than 25nm MLC-HET.
seriously, not arguing that MLC is better than SLC. you just happen to notice there is NO 25nm SLC though, right-o??? SLC is going the way of the dodo.
only 10x the durability, but how much xtra cost?
anywho on to better things....the whole point was to illuminate very brightly the point that SLC is pretty much done. I feel that i have accomplished that. Evidenced by the fact that they arent even making further generations of it... that might be a bit of a tip-off that SLC is on its way out.
oh and the way intel keeps repeating it over and over in IDF presentations.
not very impressed with ol Krisitain though. he should really know to differentiate between a SSD and a PCIe NAND/SSD device![]()
