Nonetheless, Micron\u00ae and Intel\u00ae have teamed up to maintain the rapid pace of innovation in the solid state storage\u00a0space. They have just introduced\u00a0a revolutionary new high-density flash memory\u00a0architecture called\u00a03D NAND.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional planar NAND architectures are reaching their practical limits for scale. As a result, it has become impractical and cost-prohibitive to increase the density or\u00a0capacity of storage devices based on planar (2D) NAND technology. Engineers throughout the industry have been\u00a0seeking\u00a0a workable solution to this conundrum.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Solution_3D_NAND_Technology\"><\/span>The Solution: 3D NAND Technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Intel and Micron tackled the scaling problems of traditional NAND head on by creating a whole new architecture. Where older NAND designs scaled outward on chips and dies of increasing size, 3D NAND scales upward. Like a Manhattan skyscraper, 3D NAND increases storage density and capacity by building upward instead of outward, smashing through existing\u00a0barriers of scale. This\u00a0draws us ever\u00a0closer\u00a0to parity with traditional spinning disk technologies in cost, capacity, and reliability. For example, a 2.5&#8243; laptop-sized SSD can hold 10 TB, and the &#8220;gum stick&#8221; form factor can host 3.5 TB of storage. Obviously, 3D NAND will be extremely effective in mobile devices where solid-state storage is already the established standard. However, even more significantly, 3D NAND\u00a0is poised\u00a0to become a stalwart of\u00a0the\u00a0data center.<\/p>\n<p><em>Here are Intel&#8217;s stated key features of 3D NAND<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Large Capacities<\/b> \u2013Three times the capacity of existing 3D technology\u2014up to 48GB of NAND per die\u2014enabling three-fourths of a terabyte to fit in a single fingertip-sized package.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Reduced Cost per GB<\/b> \u2013 First-generation 3D NAND is architected to achieve better cost efficiencies than planar NAND.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Fast<\/b> \u2013 High read\/write bandwidth, I\/O speeds and random read performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Green<\/b> \u2013 New sleep modes enable low-power use by cutting power to inactive NAND die (even when other die in the same package are active), dropping power consumption significantly in standby mode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Smart<\/b> \u2013 Innovative new features improve latency and increase endurance over previous generations, and also make system integration easier.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Micron_explains_the_benefits_of_3D_NAND\"><\/span>Micron explains the benefits of 3D NAND<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lo-rsZ0vznw?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_were_excited\"><\/span>Why we&#8217;re excited<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We at Pogo are thrilled at the prospect of flash memory getting back on track with Moore&#8217;s Law. Gone are the days of solid-state storage being prohibitively expensive and unreliable, when compared to traditional spinning disks. We will soon be able to offer servers and storage solutions that are faster, cheaper, more efficient, and more reliable than anything we&#8217;ve seen in the past. The revolution begins in Q4.
