The 2D NAND problems NVMdurance solves

This is the third of four posts in our NAND flash ecosystem blog series. 2D (Planar) NAND flash memory, as the name suggests, has a 2-dimensional structure, meaning the individual storage cells are arranged in the X-Y dimensions. Successive generations of 2D NAND have realized lower cost-per-gigabyte by shrinking the X-Y dimensions via photolithography reductions. For example, […]

The history of 3D NAND flash memory

This is the second of four posts in our NAND flash ecosystem blog series. Toshiba invented NAND flash in 1987 (aka 2D or Planar NAND). So for the best part of 30 years, 2D NAND has been used. But now 3D NAND is replacing 2D. Why is 3D taking over? Well, the ever increasing demand […]
