It comprises of 16 48-layer 256-gigabit V-NAND flash chips, a powerful controller, and one 20nm 4GB LPDDR4 mobile DRAM chip.

“Later this year, Samsung plans to introduce more high-capacity and ultra-fast NVMe SSDs to meet increasing customer needs for improved performance and greater density,” Samsung said about its future plans.
Samsung will roll out this new PM971-NVMe SSD line-up in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options.
The South Korean tech giant aims to make these SSDs available to the customers next month.
