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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
NAND memory and flash drives are usually hot in Oct through Dec, but this year it might be different. It seems the price of flash is dropping according to Digitimes. Apparently, growth of NAND Flash has been limited this year, especially amid lessened flash memory card and USB drive shipments. This led to a veritable […]
M&G Investment Management Ltd. purchased a significant stake in Silicon Motion Technology Co. during the fourth quarter of 2022. The move came even as Silicon Motion (NASDAQ: SIMO) navigated a period of weaker-than-expected revenue, showing that M&G was betting on long-term growth rather than short-term earnings. Silicon Motion, often shortened to SMI, is a leading […]
Micron, with the corporate office based in Boise Idaho, introduces the c200 microSD card with a data storage range from 128GB to 1TB. No that wasn’t a typo, One Terabyte of storage. The card was designed to address the demand around 4K video recording and playback. The card has read speeds near 100MB/s and write […]
IBM’s research into phase-change memory could bring faster, more reliable storage beyond today’s flash memory limits. Earlier this month, tech giant IBM announced a more efficient way to use phase-change memory. This new method is a breakthrough with the potential to transition electronic devices from standard RAM and flash to the much faster and more […]
