Specifications & Features

HP is now offering no less than three versions of the S750 which includes 256 GB up-to 1TB  capacities. The sample that has arrived for testing is the 1TB version of the drive. The S750 series as stated will be fitted with TLC written NAND flash memory from Micron's 3D NAND (vertically stacked) node. This allows HP to offer the proper storage volumes, albeit we ould have liked to have seen a 2TB version.

So instead of using Planar NAND, 3D NAND is used. 3D TLC NAND is physical vertical NAND cell stacking not to be confused with chip stacking in a multi-chip package. In 3D NAND, NAND layers, not chips, are stacked in a single IC. The good news is continued cost reduction, smaller die sizes and more capacity per NAND chip. Also, installed NAND toolsets in the wafer fabs can, for the most part, be reused, thereby extending the useful life of fab equipment. The NAND ICs are driven by a HP controller albeit HP makes use of renamed Silicon Motion controllers these days.
