This opens opportunity for bigger capacity solid state drives aboard PCs and other equipments.

Intel and Micron have carried that forward with 3D NAND.

This poses a major challenge for the memory industry.

10TB solid state drives may soon be possible with Intel’s new 3D NAND

One of the most significant aspects of this breakthrough is in the foundational memory cell itself.

This can enable gum stick-sized SSDs with 3.5TB of storage and standard 2.5-inch SSDs with greater than 10TB.

Because capacity is achieved by stacking cells vertically, individual cell dimensions can be considerably larger.
