Samsung works on the next generation of storage media

29. September 2022 In July 2022, Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled an improved storage medium that significantly reduces computing time and power consumption. The storage medium is called the second generation of smart solid state drives (SSDs). Experts expect that this innovation will further consolidate Samsung’s top position in the SSD market. According to company data, Samsung owns a 40.9 percent market share in the first quarter of 2022. Samsung is also the world’s largest manufacturer of memory chips and plans to mass produce the new high-performance SSDs starting in 2024. SSDs store their data in memory chips and are well on the way to replacing conventional hard disks with magnetic storage. In Korea, electronic products and components require KC certification for electronic products to be approved for sale and use.     The new Samsung SSD processes part of the data directly instead of having it calculated by the CPU. This reduces data traffic between hardware such as the CPU, GPU and RAM. Samsung claims that compared to current SSDs, computing time is reduced by 50 percent, power consumption is reduced by 70 percent, and CPU usage is reduced by 97 percent. According to Samsung, the new technology is designed to eliminate bottlenecks in data movement between storage media and CPUs. At the same time, system performance and energy efficiency increases. The new second-generation Samsung SSD could be used in applications with high computing power such as artificial intelligence, Big Data, deep learning, and 5G and 6G mobile networks.
