Samsung Introduces World's Highest Capacity Enterprise SSD - 15.36 TB
https://news.samsung.com/global/sam...ty-15-36tb-ssd-for-enterprise-storage-systems

The unprecedented 15.36TB of data storage on a single SSD is enabled by combining 512 of Samsung's 256Gb V-NAND memory chips. The 256Gb dies are stacked in 16 layers to form a single 512GB package, with a total of 32 NAND flash packages in the 15.36TB drive. Utilizing Samsung's 3rd generation, 256-gigabit (Gb) V-NAND technology which stacks cell-arrays in 48 layers, the PM1633a line-up provides significant performance and reliability upgrades from its predecessor, the PM1633, which used Samsung's 2nd generation, 32-layer, 128Gb V-NAND memory.

The 15.36TB PM1633a drive supports 1 DWPD (drive writes per day), which means 15.36TB of data can be written every day on this single drive without failure, a level of reliability that will improve cost of ownership for enterprise storage systems. This drive can write from two to ten times as much data as typical SATA SSDs based on planar MLC and TLC NAND flash technologies.

Data centers will love this thing...but, no price has been announced.
I am betting this beast will cost at least $7-$10K.
 
I'm glad to see such high capacities showing up from top tier makers. I want to see multi-terabyte ssd's show up at reasonable prices in the near future.
 
It's great to see SSD's beating HDD's in total amount of storage. Now we just need the cost/GB to drop to HDD levels.

2021 can't come soon enough!

I figure 5 years until we can get cost/GB SSD pricing comparable to current day HDD pricing. Eventually HDDs are going to have to hit a wall - they keep coming up with all kinds of relatively crazy tricks to bump up the capacity, but there'll come a time when reliability will tank or performance suffers. Shingled blocks are already kind of pushing that envelope, IMHO.

Intel's upcoming 3D XPoint, while it won't be price competitive at first, has a great potential in being a terrific storage platform in the future. First, it sits in-between NAND (all types) and DRAM in terms of both performance and endurance, and should scale significantly better in comparison to 3D NAND.

I think that will bring a much better HDD replacement with larger capacities and equivalent cost/GB... but again, likely not for a handful of years.
 
Eventually 15tb ssd drives will cost 120 dollars. I remember when 20 megabyte winchester drives cost 3000 dollars back then which would be like 10 grand in todays dollars.
