Kioxia, a Japanese memory maker, has laid out an ambitious plan to achieve a staggering 1,000 layers of 3D NAND flash memory by 2027. The company aims to boost the recording density of flash memory by increasing the number of active layers in a 3D NAND device. This increase in layers would result in enhanced bit density and improved NAND I/O speed, leading to the development of higher-capacity and faster solid-state drives (SSDs)
