Western digital begins marketing 512 gb 3d nand chips

Western Digital is having a very busy year. At the beginning of the year the company announced that they were going to produce a 512 GB 3D NAND chip. It was announced through an agreement with Toshiba, which promised to be of the most interesting for both parties. It should be said that Western Digital owns 20% of Toshiba's shares.

Now the situation is different. Both sides seem to be in a kind of war. Western Digital is trying to block Toshiba from marketing the aforementioned chips. It seems that a judicial procedure will be opened in this regard. It seems that the problem is going to be long, but Western Digital has decided to take the initiative and begins to market the 512 GB 3D NAND chip.

Quality jump in the SSD segment

The entire development of the chips has been carried out with much secrecy. At no time have the full specifications of all of them, simply the most basic, been published. And even today, many data about them are unknown. Thanks to this technology called BiCS3, both companies have managed to take an important step forward.

All previously produced 3D NAND chips were left at 256GB. But thanks to the new technology they have managed to double their density, which also translates into double the capacity. Given these advances, interest in chips is peaking in the industry, although fights between the two companies may affect.

Very little data is known so far. Western Digital is supposed to be selling the first ones to OEMs, but there is also no confirmation from the company about it. What do you think of the 512 GB 3D NAND chips?
