first make 4tb qlc more affordable

This is madness! When will it stop? I thought 4-bits was enough already.

That's impressive and all but what about:
- Speed penalty (write holes ahoy)
- Read/Write endurance.
- Price
I can see this tech making consumer high capacity 2230 M2s SSDs. 1TB exists for this but it's super expensive. This could make it super cheap. However, I hardly see the future of SSDs in high capacities. The prices are still prohibitive... 4TB is still 800$CAD and more. TLC or QLC... it doesn't matter.

I imagine they're going after the magnetic tape business with this

I imagine an endurance of 10 cycles if we are lucky with that 7bits

If it is possible to do it, then they should do it.
Every improvement is a step ahead.
The price is right for 4TB TLC (if mainstream), but it is lot less for 4TB in QLC: it is around 350 in 2,5" and 450 in M2.
At 800 you can have a 8TB from Samsung in QLC (with good life due to it's high volume Nand).
