Interesting.

Part of SIMO's Mon Titan enterprise SSD contoller story is that the enterprise is moving toward QLC NAND for high capacity SSD drives (due to cost advantages of QLC over other types of NAND), and that SIMO has the most expertise of any company when it comes to making QLC controllers.

So this article is about the highest capacity SSD ever created.

I say it's interesting because the SSD uses QLC, which validates SIMO's view of the industry direction.

A new SSD form factor can house a staggering 1,000,000 GB of storage – E2 drives could store 11,000 4K movies with 80W power draw

Seeking to address the aforementioned middle ground, the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) and the Open Compute Project (OCP) have collaborated to design and prototype a new SSD form factor that accommodates 'warm' data, which sits between cold and hot tiers, making high density and low cost paramount.

The device has reportedly been built from the ground up for high-capacity deployments in 2U servers, and will feature a staggering one petabyte of QLC storage per device.
