SSDs are on track to get bigger and cheaper thanks to PLC technology
Storage of 5 bits in every NAND cell is coming, courtesy of Intel and Toshiba. Intel announced it’s joining Toshiba in the PLC (Penta-Level Cell), meaning 5 bits stored per individual NAND cell) club. Intel has not yet commercialized the technology, so you can’t go and buy a PLC SSD yet – but we can expect the technology will lead eventually to higher-capacity and cheaper SSDs.
