Understanding Samsung Massively Produces Cheaper 4TB SSDs for Every Home

Samsung has just announced to start mass production of 4-bit 4TB SSD hard drives. Despite revealing 30TB SSDs and the world's largest SSDs with 100TB, these are products for businesses. The upcoming 4TB drives will be aimed at ordinary users. New '4-bit QLC SATA SSDs' are expected to bring efficiency to SSD users'.

'New 4-bit SATA SSDs will bring a move to SSD capacity for users,' said Samsung's vice president of storage and marketing memory.'When we expand our products to many customer and business segments, 4-bit SSD products will quickly appear throughout the market.'.

SSDs are the first in the industry to use 4-bit V-NAND storage technology. QLC (quad-level cell) provides more storage capacity on the same storage space than 3-bit before and still has the same speed.

New hard drives must be cheaper to hope for more users.

The 4TB hard drives currently on the market only cost $100, but Samsung's 4TB 860 EVO SSD is 10 times the price, i.e. $1000. To make its 4TB SSD more widely used, Samsung needs to reduce product prices.

Samsung said it is looking for a 4-bit SSD to get the same speed as a 3-bit drive, the new drives will have a reading speed of 540MB/s and write 520MB/s. Currently the speed of EVO 4TB is 550MB/s and 520MB/s, respectively.

Besides the 4TB drive expected to appear later this year, Samsung will also introduce 1TB and 2TB DATA SSDs with a 3-year warranty, 2.5-inch size and release of M.2 NVMe drives for businesses.
