Imagine storing every single video, movie, and picture you have ever seen in your entire life on a single solid-state drive. Well, these high-end solid-state drives [30TB] can do that. But how can SSDs organize so much information? Well in this video we answer that question, and we go over the logistics involved in storing terabytes of data.

This video is part of a series that intends to thoroughly explain how SSDs, and more specifically how 3D NAND works. These are the episodes in the series:
1) Organization of Blocks, Pages, and Memory Cells:    • How do SSDs Work? | How does your Sma...  
2) How is information written to a memory cell?    • The Engineering Puzzle of Storing Tri...  
3) How is information read from a cell?    • How does NAND Flash Work?  Reading fr...
