Thread: The MLC flash memory 3BPC unstable?

The MLC 3 bits per cell (instead of the usual 2) began to disembark. This new type of flash memory increases the available capacity on a heart in the same size, which in consequence of lowering the cost / capacity and therefore the prices of final products do not reach a level of stability sufficient to be used.

Arrivals from a U.S. manufacturer, they are distributed in Korea shortly after, presumably so the caster can attempt to locate the problem. In addition, manufacturers of controllers have said that at least three months to correct the problems encountered by their chips with the new type of flash memory.

It is feared that the gradual replacement of 2PBC by the 3BPC be delayed, which would consequently reduce inventory available for the SSD (which will use only as a reminder of the 2Bpc) and may keep prices at their current level. Recall that there is little expectation that 70 to 80% of the 2Bpc, chips used in memory cards and USB keys input ranges, are replaced by the 3BPC. It is also necessary that the new chips are used.
