Apparently NAND/flash storage is very popular these day and almost any mobile device has one such chip onboard. During Q4 2016 the price of MLC and SLC NAND flash has increased by 6-10%. These increased prices are linked to the higher SSD demand in PCs and to the slow transition process towards 3D-NAND technology.

According to a new report, PCIe SSD market is expected to grow significantly in the next few years, with expected growth of 33.24 percent by 2020.

According to the latest report, solid state drives (SSDs) might surpass hard disk drives (HDDs) in notebooks by in 2018.

According to a new study that span over a period of six years, it appears that high-end SSDs based on single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory are not more reliable compared to much cheaper SSDs based on multi-level cell (MLC) NAND SSDs.

It appears that high-capacity SSDs are slowly becoming a reality as Japanese company Fixstarts has announced its 6TB, 10TB and 13TB SATA III SSDs that will be available in mid-late February.
