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 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.

The 4TB hard drives currently on the market only cost $ 100, but Samsung's 4TB 860 EVO SSD is 10 times the price, ie $ 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.
