Sky Hynix Debuts 96-Layer '4D NAND' SSD With 64KB Bandwidth

What? What is the point about 64 KB bandwidth? Most of the article makes sense, but I'm still not clear on this point.

Should it read bus-width?
Seems a bit much, but would also explain the high data transfer speed.

The "bandwidth of 64KB" comes straight from the press release.

Yeah, I wondered if they were talking about something like that. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm rather surprised to see something like this from Lucian. A good journalist should be a filter for this kind of thing and hopefully reach out to their PR department for clarification. The quality of his articles is normally very good.
