SLC (single bit), MLC (double bit), TLC (three bits), the fourth form of NAND flash memory QLC finally officially released. Toshiba today unveiled the world's first QLC flash with 4 bits per unit design, and the costly ultra-high-capacity SSD will no longer be a dream.
From TLC to QLC, although only one bit is added to the same electronic unit, the technical challenge is so great that double precision is required to ensure high stability, longevity and performance, but once the technology is overcome Obstacles, with the substantial increase in capacity, unit costs will continue to decline rapidly.
