TL;DR

3D NAND is a flash memory technology that significantly increases storage density by stacking memory cells vertically, improving overall performance and capacity.

  • The new 3D design increases storage capacity by up to 3x compared to traditional flash methods.
  • This technology enables the creation of smaller form factor devices with exceptionally large storage capacities, such as 10TB in 2.5" SSDs.
  • By stacking cells vertically, 3D NAND is expected to increase both performance and endurance cycles.
  • The availability of this technology is projected to lead to a radical drop in the price of solid state drives (SSDs) over time.
