Samsung just surprised us with an announcement of mass production of NVMe SSDs with a capacity of 512GB but weighting only 1 gram. These SSDs have read and write speeds of up to 1,500MBps and 900MBps respectively. Which means our 4K movies can be transferred in some seconds.
Samsung’s Jung-bae Lee in a statement said, this revolutionary storage device will “triple the performance of a typical SATA SSD”.
Smaller than a normal postage stamp, Samsung’s new SSDs will find use in the next-gen PCs and ultraportable laptops. This is the first of its kind NVMe PCIe SSD in a single ball grid array package. It comprises of 16 48-layer 256-gigabit V-NAND flash chips, a powerful controller, and one 20nm 4GB LPDDR4 mobile DRAM chip.
Talking about its physical specifications, the SSD weighs just 1 gram and measures around 20mm x 16mm x 1.5mm.
"Later this year, Samsung plans to introduce more high-capacity and ultra-fast NVMe SSDs to meet increasing customer needs for improved performance and greater density", Samsung said about its future plans.
Samsung will roll out these SSDs in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options next month.
