Toshiba Corp. Monday (Oct. 27) launched a new line-up of 43-nm single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory products available in densities ranging from 512 Mbits to 64 Gbits.
The new lineup includes three products—16Gb, 32Gb and 64Gb—which integrate 43-nm monolithic 16Gb chips, the highest density SLC NAND chips available, according to Toshiba. The devices will come to market in the first quarter of 2009, the company said.
SLC chips are said to offer fast read and write times and support a large number of write and erase cycles. Many of the early models of solid-state drives use SLC NAND.
