Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB

Using this image as a visual, each of the black squares is a NAND flash memory chip. If you want more storage on the device, it needs more chips on the board.
Density can vary between manufacturers, some 256 might only use one NAND chip, others may need two or more, but going up to 1TB there will generally need at least 4.

There’s plenty of garbage M.2 ssds out there with only 1 nand chip for 1TB. Pretty much any time you sort by price low to high you’ll see some of the most dire SSDs you’ve ever seen in your life. They suck too, quad chip ones are almost guaranteed to be lightyears faster.

Does this tie into TLC vs QLC drives?
