Vertical NAND (V-NAND)

Vertical NAND (V-NAND) is a type of flash memory technology where memory cells are stacked vertically, rather than laid out side-by-side. This vertical stacking allows for denser storage in a smaller space, improving capacity and performance. By stacking cells, V-NAND enables faster data access and reduces power consumption compared to traditional planar NAND. It's commonly used in solid-state drives (SSDs) and other high-performance storage devices, providing reliable, high-speed data storage with increased durability due to fewer conductive pathways and improved heat management.
