When people shop for SSDs on e-commerce platforms, they are often confused by the concepts of “Consumer-grade” and “Enterprise-grade”. This article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics and differences between these two types of solid-state drives.

From November to December 2025, the tight situation in the global DRAM and DDR market has intensified rapidly. Both contract prices and retail prices have shown an unusually fast increase within a short period of time.

SSDs use NAND Flash to store data, and this storage medium itself has a physical limit on the number of write cycles. The so-called “SSD lifespan” refers to the time an SSD can maintain stable operation during daily writing, erasing, and use. It is not a simple number of years

According to the research, by combining ferroelectric semiconductors and oxide semiconductors, the new NAND cell can achieve over 90% power reduction during string operations and also shows high scalability and multi-bit storage capability.

On the path of technological evolution, from SLC storing 1 bit per cell, to MLC with 2 bits, TLC with 3 bits, and QLC with 4 bits, each step represents a new balance between cost and reliability. Today, PLC technology, storing 5 bits of data per cell, is seen as a key development direction for next-generation high-density storage.
