Samsung Electronics is collaborating with US-based data storage specialist Western Digital to develop a next-generation storage technology dubbed zoned storage, which targets the data center and enterprise markets that need to process large amounts of data.
The memorandum of understanding between the two firms is for promoting the standardization of zoned storage technology, but they also plan to develop and promote software for products featuring zoned storage technology.
The zoned storage technology enables users to save data in several different zones while reducing costs.
By storing data having the same use and same use cycle in the same area, data can be stored more efficiently than existing solid-state drives (SSDs) that distribute and store data, according to a Samsung spokesman.
Samsung, which developed the industry's first ZNS SSD using the zone storage technology in In June 2021, has been cooperating with Western Digital since last year.
Samsung accounts for the largest share of the SSD market, while Western Digital has the third-largest stake as of 2021.
