Samsung plans to develop and launch a record-breaking 1 petabyte (PB) SSD in the near future. In this respect informs SamMobile Portal.
The South Korean company is said to have shared its plans at a meeting with other SSD manufacturers. Samsung engineers have said that future SSDs could have a capacity of 1 PB or 1024 TB. Such a drive would be able to store about 22,000 hours of video in 4K resolution, and several dozen of these SSDs would house the entire archive of the US Library of Congress.
However, Samsung states that such discs will not appear on the market in the near future. According to Samsung, innovations in this area will allow to create an SSD with record-breaking memory only in the next ten years.
Experts from the Korean company emphasized that in order to create a record-breaking SSD, it is necessary to work on not only physical, but also logical scaling. Engineers stated that such a driver will consist of more than 1000 layers. Also, engineers will have to solve the problem of equipment overheating during operation.
Currently the largest SSD drive has a capacity of 100TB. However, such repositories are very expensive and rarely found for ordinary users. More common SSD models range from 120GB to 8TB.
