Intel 34nm advanced solid-state listing of the largest 320GB hard drive

Intel is currently on the market are solid-state hard drive 50nm process, it is clear people are not satisfied with this, Intel also felt the pressure. It is said that Intel will soon be released within two weeks based on new 34nm technology solid-state hard drive than the previously announced release of the fourth quarter of the road significantly earlier.

In fact as early as November last year, Intel and Micron announced the joint development of 34nm technology and NAND flash memory chips have been put into mass production and become the industrys first 40nm process following the NAND flash memory products. This multi-MLC-based NAND flash memory chips from Intel, Microns joint investment in IM Flash Technologies production, cut from 300 mm wafers, the core area of 172 mm2, when compared with similar products is the smallest. Single-chip capacity of 32Gb, a wafer can be cut out of a total capacity of 1.6TB.

In addition, through the standard 48-pin TSOP package, the chip can also create a greater capacity of NAND flash memory device, such as two eight-die package can achieve 64GB. Intel said that this 34nm 32Gb NAND flash memory chip is designed for solid-state hard drive designed to bring greater capacity, smaller size, lower price.

When the beginning of this year, Intel have announced a road map for 34nm flash memory, including the X18-M, X25-M, X25-E series will be three to enter the 34nm technology era, will reach the maximum capacity of 320GB. Another user-oriented enterprise-class X25-E will also be 50nm NAND flash memory chips to upgrade to 34nm, doubling the capacity for 64/128GB, using SLC package.

Editor Comment: We have solid-state hard drives were very good, pushing Intels 34nm process is the people clapped their hands in applause, as the 34nm process development of solid-state hard drive in addition to greater capacity, higher performance, the most important is also of lower prices, the popularity of solid-state hard drive is expected to further speed up the pace. Moreover, with the development of solid-state hard drive, especially on the operating system support Windows7 will be more perfect.
