Recently, I find the Everspin released the MRAM SSD that has much better performance than 3D-Xpoint. It seems that DRAM can be replaced by it in system. So if it is true, the data can be moved to DIMM location same as DRAM. At that moment, the performance can be improved further.

I think the 3D-Xpoint is very embarrassed for now. It is only used between DRAM and NAND SSD. Now Everspin had released 2G SSD with ST-MRAM product that can directly replace DRAM in system. If we went to have DRAM performance and nonvolatile feature, we could directly use the ST-MRAM to replace...

Because of its feature, the 3D-Xpoint can be used as a hybrid application of SSD and DRAM. So the scenario can make data much closer to CPU than NAND. The change will enhance the data rate and give rise to a evolvement of x86 architecture. But the drawback is 3D-Xpoint will consume more power.

I think it is a turn-point from SATA to PCIe although the new platform has 6 SATA ports. The new platform can support Optane technology and with much more PCIe lanes. So if Intel could release the Optane SSD on schedule, I think the DIMM SSD, PCIe SSD with Optane technology will have a...

Personally, I think China can use the controller to do SSD design based on existing NAND and china NAND product.

How about the SATA performance? I am not sure if it will downgrade during writing? Can it up to 500MB/s in write when sequential write, 128K, 4k align, 32QD?

It is good product but I am not sure if the thermal can be solved. In this kind of form factor, and PCIe Gen3 is used, how to warrant the balance between performance and thermal? Is it only a product in lab? I had done similar product for SATA and PCIe but the thermal and yield rate are problem.

It is very compelling message. Looking forward to getting new device in wearable designs. Will the solution be sell out of SAMSUNG?

Thanks so much. I only want to strive to get the highlights of the product aside from SLC. Now, for the sake of cost, MLC, TLC, even QLC, 3D NAND are being used to SSD deisgn. So it looks it will only be used in industry field.

From the introducton, I did not find any lightspots. Many existing SSDs have those features. The reliability and shock, vibration testing are also passed. I am not sure why customer will buy this one. Do you have any much more strict testing or criteria done?

Thanks for your clarification. Yes, I know HDD will seem as a "tape" in the future. Now, I am using a SSD, but, in my subconscious, I am not sure if can work for me for 10 years. I have used a 10GB HDD from seagate since 1998. It can also work well so far. It looks program/erase cycle is not...

Technology is very good and performance is better and better, unfortunately, the price is so much higher than HDD, even hybrid HDD. If the price were similar with HDD, SSD would dominate the market. In addition, the advertised speed is different with dirty SSD in real application. The...

If you want to get high data rate, why do you not use the PCIe SSD? For now, many vendors have published the form factor. The data rate is more than 1000MB/s and IOPS is more than 100K.

Will the feature impact SSD life cycle?

You can repair it and get a workable HDD. but for SSD, if it failed, you will loss all.
