Multiple flash memory cell layers are stacked vertically and three-dimensionally on a single NAND chip in a process known as V-NAND, or 3D V-NAND.
The aforementioned chips consist of 36, 48, 72, 64, and now 96 layers of flash cells that are vertically stacked. SSDs tend to be more shock-resistant, quiet, and offer greater input/output rates and lower latency than hard disc drives and other electromechanical media that require moving components.
SSDs use semiconductor cells to store data. A solid-state drive (SSD) that complies with the mSATA interface specification created by the Serial ATA (SATA) International Organization is referred to as a mSATA SSD.
An mSATA SSD is made for use with portable, power-constrained devices like laptops, tablets, and netbooks since it has a smaller form factor than a regular SSD.
The Global 3D mSATA SSD market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Under the name UV500, Kingston has introduced a new SSD product line that will support a variety of form factors, from the traditional 2.5-inch SATA down to the tiny M.2 2280.
This also contains the mSATA form factor, which is becoming increasingly uncommon but was once widespread on some ultra-thin notebooks before the M.2 form factor gained popularity.
The same 3D NAND technology, 256-bit hardware encryption, and Marvel 88SS1074 controller are anticipated in all three form factors, with sequential read and write rates of 520 MB/s and 500 MB/s, respectively, and maximum 4K read and write rates of 79000 IOPS and 45000 IOPS, depending on capacity.
Speaking about capacity, the form factor will determine the largest storage size that is feasible. The M.2 and 2.5-inch sizes can support up to 960 GB, while the outdated mSATA form factor will be limited to 480 GB. The complete lineup will come with a five-year warranty as standard.
