Next-gen E2 SSD packs 1 petabyte of storage, enough for 11,000 4K movies in a ruler-sized drive

Something to look forward to: A revolutionary new SSD form factor could soon redefine high-density storage in data centers by narrowing the capacity gap between mechanical hard drives and solid-state drives. Known as E2, this QLC flash-based drive is reportedly capable of storing up to 1 petabyte (1 million gigabytes) of data while delivering performance comparable to that of a high-end SSD.

Apple, Intel, Nvidia, and others line up for next-gen chips
In context: TSMC has steadily raised the prices of its most advanced semiconductor process nodes over the past several years – so much so that one analysis suggests the cost per transistor hasn't decreased in over a decade. Further price hikes, driven by tariffs and rising development costs, are reinforcing the notion that Moore's Law is truly dead.
