Think high capacity #SSD s are far off on a distant horizon? Not so. New manufacturing techniques mean that petabyte, high capacity SSDs are probably a question of when, not if. The world of SSDs – and what we think of as a "high capacity SSD" – is going to change radically over the next few years. That's because a single SSD will soon be able to store in such vast quantities of data that the very term "high capacity SSD" may end up being wholly inadequate and in need of replacement. That's good news for many businesses, because the high capacity SSD market has been quite dull for the last few years and technology advances moderate. The main change has been a move from single level cell ( #SLC ) technology to multi-level cell ( #MLC ) and enterprise multi-level cell ( #eMLC ) technology. That's made it possible to offer cheap consumer grade SSDs to sit alongside the more expensive enterprise class ones, and also allowed a general fall in the price per GB stored on high capacity SSDs.
