BeSang promises 3D NAND that is 2 cents per Gigabyte, offering around 10x less cost per Gigabyte than competing NAND. Are cheap SSDs finally coming?

Even if it's not as fast as other SSDs, I'd still buy them because it'll still outclass any HDD and provide a lot of cheap storage

yay finally they are coming

I really can't wait until I can replace all of my mech drives. My wife's PC vibrates and it's got to be the worst noise EVER. I'm going to buy some sound dampening material for it but yeah, they're as noisy as hell.

This sounds great, but sometimes something just sounds too great!
I mean I've never heard of a company called "BeSang" so I'm curious as to why they are able to beat Samsung (one of the industry leaders when it comes to NAND flash) by an order of magnitude in memory density (and cost for that matter).
Let's just wait and see what they deliver and when they deliver...

Nobody want's a cheap SSD that can hold it's data for only a week without being switched on and refreshed and that can only write its capacity twice before it wears out.

Yeah, durability is going to be the key. They will need to release, and torture tests will need to be ran before I would trust that much data to an unknown SSD manufacturer.

Maybe Sammy has higher margins.
