What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Most mature of the three — genuinely in mass production with strong measured gains — but it is a component (NAND die) entering products through 2026, not a technology pv adopts directly; relevant as a storage-cost/AI-data signal.
Next
Watch for shipping enterprise/AI-server eSSD products on 321-layer (32DP packaging) and independent endurance/retention data versus prior QLC.
