Samsung's new 16TB SSD which it calls the world's largest storage device
It’s called the PM1663a drive and has a massive formatted capacity of 15.36TB and is aimed at high capacity markets, data centers, and enterprise-grade markets with huge capacity and speed requirements.
The drive has a standard 2.5-inch enclosure but is two times thicker than the average drive which are used in consumer products like laptops. Samsung had to use 480 of its 256GB V-NAND flash chips – each of which has 48 layers of NAND cells each - which it recently unveiled to achieve this data capacity.

Samsung made the announcement at the annual flash memory summit which was just concluded in the United States, but didn’t add any pricing details.
Samsung's highest-capacity consumer-grade SSD are the recently launched 2TB 850 Pro and 850 Evo models.
