Samsung Electronics first announced the world's largest capacity, with 30TB solid state drive (SSD) PM1643 mass production, the era of large-capacity SSD was officially unveiled.Currently the global enterprise SSD market by the Samsung, Intel (Intel) the two masters, SK Hynix (SK Hynix), Micron (Micron) catch up in the future, with the ultra-high-speed, ultra-high capacity business with the SSD market growth, will also affect the NAND Flash market demand changes.Reported by a number of Korean media, with the artificial With the rapid development of smart grid (AI) and big data, the server and storage devices that form the core of the network data center are boosting the ratio of SSDs and driving the rapid growth of the SSD market. At present, the global SSD market is affected by the growth of enterprise data centers such as Google and Amazon Compared with traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), SSDs have the advantage of faster read and write speeds and lower failure rates than HDDs, which is expected to drastically reduce manpower and make up for the high cost of SSDs from an operational management level. The largest capacity SSD PM1643 into mass production, due to adopt Samsung 3D NAND Flash and the latest packaging technology, PM1643 claims to have the world's largest capacity of 30.72TB, read and write speeds of 2,100MB / s, 1,700MB / s, which is double the capacity of 15.36TB released by Samsung in 2016. The industry in South Korea predicts that the capacity of 100TB SSDs is expected to come out by 2020. Recalling that Samsung took the lead to launch the 32GB SSD in 2006, 12 years after the capacity growth of 1,000 times to 30TB, the key lies in the semiconductor packaging technology advances.Samsung said due to DRAM packaging, controller design and software optimization, the original nine controller into one, much more internal space to accommodate Memory, without Samsung's own controller technology, will not be able to launch such a high-capacity SSD products. Controller control NAND Flash read and write and access, is the key component of SSD can operate smoothly.Another Korean memory SK Hynix, the maker, also began to strengthen its controller technology research and development to accelerate the consolidation of weaker controller and firmware technologies through the acquisition of other vendors. SK hynix previously announced that it has completed the development of a maximum capacity of 4TB SATA SSDs, Aiming at the enterprise SSD market.Compared to the average consumer SSD, the enterprise SSD market with higher added value, but also relatively high barriers to entry.Sk Hynix to strengthen its own weaknesses, 2016 Seagate at the end to consider setting up a joint venture company.But in July 2017, the cooperation program passed both controversial because of ownership structure, the negotiations therefore ended.New Seagate in the HDD market in the past, with the WITTEN (WD) formed two strong, After the acquisition of SanDisk, WD began to expand in the SSD market, which in the case of the SSD market has become stagnant.Korean industry stakeholders said the share of corporate SSDs accounted for SK hynix revenue share is still low, but the future formally entered the According to market research firm IHS Markit, the SSD market in 2017 will be 25.1 billion U.S. dollars and 2021 is expected to grow to 31.2 billion U.S. dollars at an average annual growth rate of 5.6% , The same period the size of enterprise SSD market, will grow from 134 billion US dollars to 176 billion US dollars, an average annual growth rate of 7.0%
