SanDisk Prometa SSDs of 1PB (Petabyte) Com Tecnologia Ultraqlc

Among the news released by Sandisk during his last presentation at Investor Day, the company also spoke of its plans to break the Petabyte barrier in SSDs. The company intends to use a technology that calls Ultraqlc to offer 1.024TB capacity drives – ie 1PB.

“Ultraqlc is made based on our decades of experience and our current learning to actually be used in modern data infrastructure, while not committed to density, performance and energy efficiency,” said Khurram Ismai, Sandisk’s executive.

Ultraqlc, however, is not a new version of QLC chips, but an association of different features that Sandisk gave a business name. This is the union of the company’s Nand QLC BICS 8 of the company, with an advanced owner control and 64 Nand channels, also with the company’s firmware.

In fact, according to Tom’s hardware, proprietary control is the most central part of Ultraqlc. This is because it was made especially for high abilities, reducing latency, allowing larger bands and improving reliability in hyperesque.

SSD 1PB from Sandisk is still far from your PC

Sandisk still doesn’t talk about a launch window for its first 1PB SSD. Still, when the product arrives will be focused on professional use. Use in AI processing, as usual, is one of the main points of marketing for a drive with as much storage as the company’s own slide says.

This does not mean, however, that we will not have SSDs Ultraqlc soon. The technology will already be used in 128TB SSDs with 2TB Nand chips. Then should also appear the 256TB and 512TB drives in the coming years, paving the way to reach 1PB.
