Popular SSD vendor uses clever trick to make slower, less durable flash components perform much better — but don’t expect miracles

Although QLC NAND is capable of storing substantial amounts of data, it falls behind in performance when compared to other NAND types. Because it’s denser (housing four bits per cell) than TLC (which accommodates three), it’s typically slower and less robust. Western Digital has employed a smart method to improve the performance and durability of … Read more
