Samsung Gets Environmental Certificate for 512Gb V-NAND and 860 EVO 4TB SSD

Samsung Gets Environmental Certificate for 512Gb V-NAND and 860 EVO 4TB SSD

Samsung announced that it is being recognized for its environmental reliability by receiving the industry’s first Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificate in Korea with its 512Gb 64-layer 3bit V-NAND and 860 EVO 4TB SSD.

The Environmental Product Declaration is a national certification system in Korea which recognizes a product’s performance according to seven key environmental metrics including carbon footprint, resource footprint, ozone depletion, acidification, eutrophication, photochemical smog, and water footprint. In terms of per capacity (gigabit), the carbon emission of the 512Gb 3-bit V-NAND has been reduced to less than half of that of the 10-nanometer (nm)-class 64Gb V-NAND that was certified last year. An 8TB SSD composed with the 512Gb V-NAND can reduce approximately 240kg CO2 of carbon emission per year compared to a 8TB SSD product composed with the 64Gb NAND, producing the same effect as planting twenty-five 30-year-old trees**.

“The EPD certification will serve as an assurance to our customers that Samsung’s high-capacity products offer not only cutting-edge technology, but also certified environmental reliability” said Mike Mang, Vice President of Brand Product Marketing, Memory Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung plans to begin mass production of 1Tb V-NAND in the future to lead the growth of the rapidly expanding ultrahigh-capacity storage market and strengthen its eco-friendly technology leadership.”

Samsung Electronics seeks to leverage its advancements in environmental reliability to lead the consumer market by exceeding customer expectations, just as it has continuously delivered in high performance and energy efficiency in the corporate SSD market. Samsung earned its first low carbon footprint certification for the DDR3 DRAM server module in 2009 and had since expanded its environmental certification portfolio across its key products, including NAND flash, LPDDR, SSD, and application processors.

Considering how much electricity South Korea produces using imported fossil fuels, it would surprise nobody if Samsung products carry a large carbon footprint. But I guess they are heavily investing in renewable sources.

Cool, more companies should follow it. Hopefully consumers would pay attention before buying things that carry bigger environmental damage.

Can they plant those trees as they are making SSDs? Deforestation is really big environmental problem. Forests control water supply inland.

Save thy environment!

"And if you drive a car that gets 22 miles to the gallon every weekday, your annual carbon footprint from commuting is 4.3 metric tons." - from a sciency source.

4300/356= ~12

Basically, skip one day of driving and you can get about 8x512GB SSDs instead.
