3D V-NAND Technology
Samsung’s innovative 3D V-NAND flash memory architecture breaks through density, performance, and endurance limitations of nowadays’s conventional planar NAND architecture. Samsung 3D V-NAND stacks 32 cell layers vertically resulting in higher density and better performance utilizing a smaller footprint.

Samsungs Magician software enables RAPID Mode for up to 2x faster performance* by utilizing unused PC memory (DRAM) as a tall-speed cache. The newest version of Samsung Magician supports up to a 4GB cache on a system with 16GB of DRAM.
