3D NAND was developed in response to the scaling limitations of 2D NAND memory. The layers in 3D NAND were flipped from horizontal to vertical orientation and strings of them were built to form a tower. By changing the direction of how the cells are configured created opportunity to increase storage capacity, reduce size of […]
DRAMeXchange published a market research paper stating that NAND flash memory will continue to flood the market at lower prices. NAND flash memory is primarily used for storing songs, photos and other data on gadget type devices like digital cameras, MP3 players and iPods. The biggest contributing factor on why the market will continue to […]
While forecasting strong sales and profitability in 2008, Silicon Motion projects that demand for low-density NAND flash will beat that for the high-density segment, driven by demand for microSD cards and embedded memory, said company president and CEO Wallace Kou. Silicon Motion guides that annual sales will grow by 25-35% on year with gross margins […]
Micron has introduced two new tech products: a tiny flash storage device for phones and a big memory chip for Nvidia GPUs. Micron, which makes and sells SSDs, created a flash chip that’s super small but packs a punch. It’s like a supercharged version of the standard UFS 4.0 device, only about the size of […]
The Justice Department recently made an announcement about a settlement agreement with Micron Technology Inc., a company that makes computer parts. The settlement is related to a violation of a law called the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), where Micron discriminated against a U.S. citizen by not hiring him for a job and instead hiring […]
KV-CSD is an acronym for Key Value Store Computational Storage Device and Hynix a NAND memory manufacturer is directing their technology towards this storage approach. Here at GetUSB.info we focus on NAND memory and typically look at the write speeds of devices. However, for data centers and analytic companies, the ability to retrieve data is […]
Micron announced the industry’s first 3D NAND memory device with 232 layers on Thursday. The company intends to use its new 232-layer 3D NAND products for a variety of applications, including solid-state drives, and expects to begin mass production of such chips in late 2022. Micron’s 232-layer 3D NAND device has a raw capacity of […]
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) has announced the availability of a sample of the world’s first vertically-integrated 176-layer NAND solid-state drive (SSD) for data center applications. This new data center SSD features Micron’s industry-leading NAND with 176 layers of storage cells and proven CMOS-under-the-array technology for an ultra-efficient design. Last year, organizations that used high […]
Micron plans to close Shanghai DRAM operations and focus more on NAND memory market. Micron Memory, a USB semiconductor company based out of Boise ID, is reportedly planning to close their Shanghai operations which uses technology resources to develop DRAM technology. I source not willing to comment indicates a lack of talent or “loss of […]
Today, more than ever, people are working from the home office. Working in a comfortable environment is nice and can be very productive. However; sometimes the home office doesn’t have the same computer equipment or gear to do the jobs needed. With many organizations who are practicing social distancing, or building a work community of […]
