We're in that awkward lull where they've all announced their next generation of flash to be introduced sometime this year, but we might not get any more specifics until drives start shipping. Everyone is planning to have 64-layer (72 from SK Hynix) 3D NAND this year with TLC die capacity up to 512Gb. We don't know who's going to get it to market first, but it's likely that none of them will have ramped up to full production before the end of the year. So we may see new drives start to hit the market this year with higher capacities, but the price drops will probably come a bit later.

Finally, now I wonder how long until Toshiba actually announces the new products and releases them under OCZ brand as well.HomeworldFound - Monday, May 8, 2017 - link
If I were Toshiba I'd never make a product with the OCZ brand ever again. It's too tainted.tuxRoller - Tuesday, May 9, 2017 - link
Do you think there's ever a point where one could say "I'm comfortable with this taint"?BrokenCrayons - Tuesday, May 9, 2017 - link
I'm comfortable with this taint. So yeah, I think some of us are already at that point.vladx - Tuesday, May 9, 2017 - link
Well that's your opinion, for me just knowing it's basically Toshiba tech plus OCZ support is good for me.wumpus - Thursday, May 11, 2017 - link
And "Toshiba" isn't? They were having a bit of trouble selling the whole thing, last I heard.Meteor2 - Monday, May 8, 2017 - link
It would be good to have a round-up of where all the NAND manufacturers are.lilmoe - Monday, May 8, 2017 - link
