You may have heard the news: Toshiba and Western Digital 128-layer 3D NAND memory.
In the nomenclature of Toshiba, the memory chip will be called BiCS-5.
Probably this is because NAND flash manufacturers are still worried about the low yields of QLC memory chips.
Reportedly, the Toshiba and Western Digital 128-layer 3D NAND memory will hit commercial production in 2020-2021.
Besides, this new chip reportedly doubles the write speed per unit-channel: from 57MB/s to 132MB/s.
In turn, this will lead to higher capacity memory chip production and lower NAND pricing.
The industry is currently facing a very large surplus of NAND flash memory.
Significant price drops in SSD could be seen in 2019 according to some analysts.
