Hello, some more info about that is to be found here : anandtech.com At present, Western Digital’s subsidiary HGST uses NAND flash memory from Intel (or IMFT/Micron) to make its enterprise-grade SSDs. Keeping in mind that the two companies have a supply and development agreement in place, it is highly likely that development of solid-state drives based on Intel’s 3D NAND is well underway. Moreover, since Intel and Micron seem to pin a lot of hopes on their second-gen 3D NAND (which production starts this summer), it is possible that HGST will have to use this type of memory as well. A good news is that Skyera’s skyHawk FS all-flash storage array should support various types of NAND memory (including SanDisk’s) because Micron, Toshiba and SK Hynix all invested in the company later acquired by Western Digital and Skyera worked with all of them. Meanwhile, HGST’s FlashMax PCIe SSD accelerators (which it got from Virident) rely on Intel’s NAND, whereas S-series SSDs (which the company got from STEC) use Toshiba’s memory.
