    can't wait for quintLC and hexLC

    Mixing Latin and Greek, I see. 🙂

    “pent-” (5, Greek)
    “quin-” (5, Latin)
    “hex-” (6, Greek)
    “sex-” (6, Latin)

    Stick with Greek and you get viable three-letter abbreviations up to 6.

    “hept-” (7, Greek)
    “sept-” (7, Latin)

    You can see how it stops working for either prefix at 7.

    Are the ONFi standards open, or closed?

    looks like they are, pleasantly surprised by how surprisingly pleasant their page is. Good summaries of the standards:

    Also apparently it stands for Open NAND Flash interface, so there you have it

    It was an article of faith when 3D flash began that TLC (and Q and whatever comes next) would be built on much larger (ancestor) nodes, thus keeping, or even increasing, durability as bit density went up.

    but, in due time, the cynics amongst us disabused us of this idea. the vendors would push these multi-value cells into current node sizes, and thus reduce erase cycles into double digits. any information on that aspect?

    I wonder how they handle heat dissipation compared to their 176L modules.
