During the Flash memory summit keynote, Samsung has been talking about a new 16 terabyte SSD that is in development. The storage unit will be based on a 2.5" form factor with SAS connectivity and new 48-layer TLC V-Nand memory.



Its now known how Samsung will be dealing with that many ICs, but its likely to assume that the storage unit will have multiple PCBs in one 2.5" casing. If you do some quick math, Samsung would need to place 480 256Gb V-NAND-dies into the unit. The product will be called PM1633a  and is the successor to the PM1633 that has 3.84TB os storage capacity.

To go into all stud mode, Samsung has been demoing these SSDs in a 2U rack server, they had 48 units in there that combined had 768TB of storage space. Have a peek at some slides below. V3 256 Gb 850 EVO SSDs are in production as well.
