Samsung Electronics Co., the world's largest manufacturer of chips and smartphones, said Monday it has commenced mass production of its 3-bit-per-cell solid state drives (SSD) for data centers, offering a wider range of choices to consumers.

Samsung said the 3-bit-per-cell SSD, which is equipped with the industry's most compact 10-nanometer class 128 gigabit high-performance NAND flash memory, has improved performance compared to the previous 2-bit based models. A SSD is a data storage device used mostly in laptops.

The South Korean tech giant introduced the first 3-bit SSD, the 840 lineup, in 2012. It has been the only player in the industry to roll out such models, allowing it to maintain an upper hand in the laptop market.

The 3-bit SSD lineup is available in three capacities: 240 GB, 480 GB and 960 GB, supporting a wide range of computing environments and IT applications, according to Samsung.

"Samsung has paved the road for the popularization of 3-bit SSDs after expanding the scope to cover data centers from the previous PC sectors," said Jun Young-hun, a marketing official from Samsung's chip division.

"We will continue to make efforts to bolster the SSD market by rolling out next-generation models at appropriate periods, which will provide global IT consumers with a higher efficiency," Jun added.

According to research firm iSuppli, the global market for SSDs is expected to reach US$12.4 billion in 2014, compared to the $9.4 billion in 2013. It is also anticipated to reach $20 billion in 2017. (Yonhap)


삼성전자, 데이터센터용 3비트 SSD 첫 양산

삼성전자가 업계 최초로 3비트 낸드플래시를 탑재한 데이터센터용 솔리드스테이드드라이브(SSD)를 양산한다고 28일 밝혔다.

    제품명은 '960GB PM853T'로 데이터센터용 3비트 SSD 제품이다.

    SSD는 하드디스크드라이브를 대체할 것으로 주목받는 차세대 컴퓨터 기억장치다.

    삼성전자는 2012년 PC용 3비트 SSD를 양산한 데 이어 데이터센터용 제품을 내놓았다. 10나노급 128기가 3비트 낸드플래시가 탑재됐다.

    데이터센터용 3비트 SSD의 성능은 연속 읽기 속도 530MB/s, 연속 쓰기 속도 420MB/s 등이다.

    대규모 데이터센터와 클라우드 서버에 적합한 고성능 IT 투자 솔루션이다.

    삼성전자 메모리사업부 전영현 전략마케팅팀장은 '고성능 3비트 SSD가 PC 시장에 이어 데이터센터 시장까지 영역을 확대해 본격적으로 3비트 SSD 대중화 시대를 열었다'고 말했다.

    시장조사기관 아이서플라이에 따르면 SSD 세계 시장은 2013년 94억 달러에서 올해 124억 달러로 30% 이상 성장할 전망이다. (연합뉴스)
