Samsung's SSD global market share rises to 37.3 pct in Q1

SEOUL, Sept. 11 (Yonhap) -- South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics Co. dominated the global solid state drive (SSD) market with a more than 37 percent share, three times as large as its key U.S. rival Intel Corp., industry data showed Sunday.

Samsung Electronics saw its share in the global SSD market reach 37.3 percent in the first quarter of the year, compared with 32.8 percent from the same period last year, according to the data compiled by industry tracker IHS.

Samsung Electronics is trailed by Intel Corp. with 12.2 percent and SanDisk Corp. with 11 percent.

U.S. memory chipmaker Micron Technology came in a distant fourth with 3.9 percent, and Japan's Toshiba Corp. has a 3.8 percent share in the global SSD market.

An SSD is a data storage device made with a NAND flash memory chip that saves data without requiring power, and is more durable and faster than a hard disk drive (HDD).

Global market research firm TrendForce said that the ratio of SSDs installed in laptop computers could exceed 50 percent in 2018, compared with more than 30 percent this year. SSD prices have fallen gradually while hard drive prices remain at relatively high levels.

The market price of 128GB SSDs will soon be cheaper than 500GB HDDs, and the price between 256GB SSDs and 1TB HDDs is less than US$5.

Seagate Introduces 10GB/s PCIe SSD And 60TB sas ssd

Seagate is looking to break records with two enterprise SSDs they're showing off at Flash Memory Summit this week. The first drive is one that's been seen before: the 10GB/s PCIe x16 SSD that Seagate demonstrated in March. It has now been named the Nytro XP7200 and is scheduled for mass production in Q4. Based on four Nytro XM1440 M.2 SSDs under one heatsink on a full height expansion card, the XP7200 is more of a backplane than a drive on its own. Unlike some other multi-controller PCIe SSDs, the XP7200 does not include a PCIe switch chip. This means that the card can only be fully utilized in PCIe x16 slots that support operation as four separate x4 links. Plugging the XP7200 into a PCIe x8 slot would render two of the four M.2 drives inaccessible. And because there are four independent NVMe SSDs on the card, hitting the peak advertised read speed of 10GB/s requires the use of software-based RAID-0 or a similar striping scheme.

The performance specifications of the XP7200 show clearly the impact of using the capacity-optimized XM1440 models rather than the endurance optimized versions. Despite boasting total sequential read speeds of 10GB/s and almost one million IOPS for 4kB random reads, the write performance isn't earth-shattering. The XP7200 will be available in capacities of either 3.8TB or 7.7TB, as a result of populating it with either the 960GB XM1440 or the newer 2TB model.


With the Nytro XP7200 moving toward production, Seagate has brought out another SSD tech demo with eye-catching specifications. The unnamed SAS SSD packs 60TB of 3D TLC into a 3.5" drive. In order to connect over a thousand dies of Micron's 3D TLC NAND to a single SSD controller, Seagate has introduced ONFi bridge chips to multiplex the controller's NAND channels across far more dies than would otherwise be possible. The rest of the specs for the 60TB SSD look fairly mundane and make for a drive that's better suited to read-intensive workloads, but the capacity puts even the latest hard drives to shame.

Why the capacity shown in system is different from the named capacity?

Why the  actual capacity is different from the named capacity?

It’s caused by the different calculating way of computer and SSD maker. And, in order to make better performance, we will preset OP room for some special applications, which will make the real capacity smaller than the name capacity. The OP room is for better use of Wear Leveling, Garbage Collection and Bad-Block Management.
