    Why QLC SSDs Slow Down During Large File Transfers: Pseudo-SLC Cache Explained

    A budget QLC SSD can sprint through a file transfer, then slow dramatically once its fast write cache fills. But it is not secretly two drives, and the slowdown does not automatically mean the hardware needs replacing. The real mechanism is pseudo-SLC caching: part of the NAND operates in a...

    Solidigm U.S. NAND Fab Has No Approval or New York Site

    Solidigm is evaluating a U.S. NAND flash fab, with upstate New York identified as a leading candidate, but no factory has been approved, no site has been selected, and no construction timetable exists. Reuters first reported the review on September 18, citing three people familiar with the...

    Phison NAND Warning: SSD Prices May Stay Volatile Into 2027

    Phison CEO K.S. Pua’s warning that NAND flash shortages could last until 2030 should change how PC buyers read SSD pricing: it is a forecast from a company moving aggressively toward enterprise storage, not a confirmed timetable for retail drives. But the near-term evidence is already bad enough...

    Coming soon: Postage stamp-sized 1TB SSDs

    SSDs haven’t found their way into the mass market yet, but a team of Japanese researchers is already trying to make them more worthwhile. The team claims it has developed a technology that helps to shrink the size of SSDs by no less than 90%, makes them cheaper and boosts energy efficiency by...
