The Micron 2650 SSD (released in August 2024) uses Micron's new 276-layer TLC NAND with a density of roughly 21 Gb/mm^2,

One might think that the table indicates that Micron is stuck at 232 layers, which is not true.

Flash memory/dram isn’t under quite as much pressure as logic chips with the export control sanctions because absolutely bleeding edge memory is only at 10nm instead of 2nm. On the other hand, most memory companies use EUV already at 10nm.

happy if they make them cheap as chips and with big capacity in 2.5" format, if reliable and comparable performance.

Ehh you can

Ehh you can keep your 550MB/sec 2.5” form factor. I can get six times the peak read/write speed at better prices out of pcie3 nvme drives. Or for similar prices to SATA 2.5” dtives I could get pcie4 m.2s with 10x the peak read/write speed with an even larger advantage in IOPS.

Yes, but I want 2.5" format for my servers and plenty of people still use NAS with 2.5".
