NAND isn’t the nickname of your grandmother, but the technology in the storage chips inside your smartphones, tablets and computers, with Western Digital announcing an industry first.
It’s not just Samsung that can boast of 3D NAND, but now the storage powerhouse that is WD and SanDisk, who’ll launch 64-layer 3D NAND SSDs in Q3 2017.
Just when you didn’t think memory could get any denser (there has to be a joke in that somewhere), Toshiba ups the ante and is shipping samples of the world’s first 64-layer, three-dimensional, stacked Flash memory.
