The year 1987 was extraordinary for Kioxia, who was still working as Toshiba Memory. Because that year, Toshiba Memory invented NAND flash memory technology. The invention of NAND flash memory opened a new chapter in storage device technology, and at the same time eliminated old technologies, which had a profound impact on the development of world science and technology.
Now 35 years have passed, NAND flash memory has become mainstream, and its market size has reached 70 billion US dollars. From the perspective of chip density, it has also developed from 4Mb back then to 1.33Tb now, which is a full increase of 333,000 times.
The development of flash memory is not only a change in capacity, but also an earth-shaking change in price. In the past three years, or the past five years, it is not difficult to find that the prices of storage devices, such as SD cards, USB flash drives, SSD, etc., have become cheaper and cheaper. But you don’t know that in the 1990s, storage device technology was not developed at that time, which also made its price very high. Put it this way, a device with a capacity of 1G costs nearly US$10,000, but the current price is only 1/50,000 of that price back then. The development of science and technology is to allow more and more people to feel the changes it brings to our lives.
In 2019, Toshiba Memory officially changed its name to KIOXIA, and its Chinese name is "KIOXIA". The new storage device still uses the original high-quality particles. Recently, a foreign research institution issued a report showing that KIOXIA's global flash memory market share is second only to and Samsung , and now ranks second.
As one of the largest memory suppliers in the world, its flash memory technology is also used in its full set of consumer-grade storage products. The editor plans to DIY a computer in the near future. In terms of SSD, I chose Kai without hesitation. Xia's 500GB SSD solid state drive uses original Japanese particles and 512M independent physical cache. The price is just over 300, which is very cost-effective.
Kioxia flash memory technology not only plays a role in common products such as SSD, USB flash drives, SD cards, mobile hard drives, , etc. Now that technology is developing so rapidly, Kioxia flash memory technology is also gradually involved in digital cameras and smartphones. , games and entertainment, automobiles, smart homes, cloud computing , industrial automation and other emerging fields, I believe that Kioxia will also shine in these fields and do better!
