V-NAND Gains Back What was Lost

For planar NAND, performance was sacrificed

going to TLC

V-NAND has faster program/erase than planar

V-NAND gains back what was lost

V-NAND Gains Back What was Lost

For planar NAND, endurance was sacrificed

going to TLC

V-NAND gains back what was lost

Industry transitioning to 3D NAND for

mainstream client and enterprise applications

How Does This Translate to SSD Performance?

Synthetic benchmarks show TLC V-NAND

SSD outperforms MLC SSD

How Does This Translate to SSD Performance?

Synthetic benchmarks show TLC V-NAND

SSD outperforms MLC SSD

Data Center use also requires great

random performance – TLC V-NAND holds

up well

Performance, Density, and Power

Endurance in SSDs can be tuned via

amount of Over Provisioning (OP)


V-NAND enables industry to

continue to scale (Moore’s Law)


The first data center NVMe SSD that

is under 8 watts

Use in Client

Used in mainstream commercial

and consumer notebooks

Integrated in major OEM

designs, and sold in retail and

after-market channels

Use in Data Center

TLC V-NAND achieves the level

of performance and reliability

required

Enables a cost point ready to

displace 15K HDDs

Summary

Scalability

Performance

Enabler of many world firsts in SSDs
