This SanDisk SSD holds 256 TB data - That's 256x more than the priciest iPhone
This has now been demonstrated in a new NVMe enterprise-grade SSD by SanDisk and made possible by the company's enterprise-grade UltraQLC platform, which has further been made possible using a combination of BiC S8 QLC CBA NAND with custom controllers and advanced system optimisations.
Why Do You Need A 256TB NVMe SSD?
SanDisk says that in the AI era, flash storage must become more customisable to match complex workloads, and this is where this new SSD comes into play.
It has primarily been designed for AI-driven work, data-intensive workloads like data ingestion, preparation and more.
Key features of the SanDisk UltraQLC 256TB NVMe SSD:
It supports DirectWrite QLC, which the company claims eliminates SLC buffering. BiC S8 2TB QLC die allows for double storage density while still maintaining a compact size. There is also power optimisation at play, which allows for dynamic frequency scaling. There is a scalable multi-core controller built in, which is responsible for maintaining high throughput and endurance at extreme capacities. SanDisk says there is a data retention profile, which reduces DR recycles by up to 33%.
SanDisk UltraQLC 256TB NVMe SSD: When Is It Going To Be Available?
The SanDisk UltraQLC 256TB NVMe SSD, alongside the SanDisk SN670 128TB NVMe SSD, is going to be available in the U.2 form factor. The brand says they should arrive on the market sometime in the initial months of 2026, and other form factors are going to be available later in 2026 as well.

iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Pro: The key differences Apple doesn't want you to miss
Apple is getting ready to release the iPhone 17 series, and tech fans are already asking the same question they ask every year: What's the difference between the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max ? Apple is giving the larger Pro Max model some big advantages this time, even though both are high-end flagships. This year's update isn't just about the size. The Pro Max might be an even better choice for people who want the best iPhone experience because of its longer battery life, design changes, and camera features. What is the size difference between the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the Pro? by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Knee Pain? This Morning Trick Helps Wellnee Undo This year, Apple isn't changing the size of its screens very much. The iPhone 17 Pro has a 6.3-inch screen, and the Pro Max has a 6.9-inch screen, just like the models from last year. The real difference, though, is how thick they are, as per a report by 9to5mac. The leaked dimensions show that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be 8.725mm thick, which is more than last year's Pro Max, which was 8.25mm thick. That might not sound like much, but the extra depth makes room for a big upgrade: a bigger battery. The iPhone 17 Pro, on the other hand, is the same size as the iPhone 16 Pro, with just a little bit bigger camera bump. Will the cameras on the iPhone 17 Pro Max be better? Live Events In the past, Apple has given the Pro Max a head start when it comes to cameras. For example, the iPhone 15 Pro Max had a 5x telephoto zoom, but the smaller Pro was stuck at 3x until the iPhone 16 Pro caught up the next year. There are rumors that the iPhone 17 Pro Max might get a new telephoto lens upgrade, but the specifics are still unclear. There were some rumors that the Pro Max would have a smaller Dynamic Island, but most of them have been put to rest. Its bigger and more advanced camera system still seems to be what sets it apart, as per a report by 9to5mac. Why is battery life so important this year? The Pro Max's battery life has always been its best feature, but Apple looks like it wants to make that gap even bigger. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will have a much bigger battery because it is thicker. This will make it the longest-lasting iPhone ever, as per a report by 9to5mac. ALSO READ: Orca attack mystery: What really happened to marine trainer Jessica Radcliffe The iPhone 16 Pro Max could already play back video for up to 33 hours, stream video for up to 29 hours, and play back audio for up to 105 hours. The iPhone 16 Pro, on the other hand, could play 27 hours of video and 85 hours of audio. That six-hour lead was already big, and with the iPhone 17 Pro Max getting a bigger battery, the gap could get even bigger in 2025, as per a report by 9to5mac. ALSO READ: Apple iPhone 17 Air and Pro get surprise release date change — here's the new timeline The iPhone 17 Pro, on the other hand, is expected to have about the same battery life as last year's model. It will perform well, but it won't break new ground. FAQs What is the biggest difference between the iPhone 17 Pro and the Pro Max? The Pro Max is likely to have a longer battery life and maybe a better telephoto camera than the Pro. Will the iPhone 17 Pro get the same features as the Pro Max later? Yes, Apple has a history of adding some features to the Pro Max first and then to the smaller Pro model a year later.

Chipset Photo : X/@appltrack The iPhone 17 Pro is rumoured to feature a new vapor chamber cooling system for better heat management during heavy use. New cooling system? Interestingly, Apple may switch back to an aluminum frame for the iPhone 17 Pro, moving away from the premium Grade 5 titanium used in the 16 Pro. While this could help with weight reduction, it may be seen as a step down in terms of durability and finish. Design Photo : Apple Hub The iPhone 17 Pro is likely to get a major redesign at the back, with leaks hinting at a large rectangular camera module that spans almost edge-to-edge, a change from the square layout seen on the iPhone 16 Pro. A fresh look? Photo : Apple Track The iPhone 17 Pro could feature a 48MP telephoto sensor, replacing the 12MP periscope zoom camera used in the iPhone 16 Pro. However, optical zoom is said to be limited to 3.5x this time, slightly lower than the 5x zoom capability of the 16 Pro. Camera Photo : X/@MajinBu Apple is expected to bump up the RAM to 12GB on the iPhone 17 Pro, up from 8GB on the iPhone 16 Pro. This should improve multitasking and boost performance during heavy tasks like gaming or video editing. RAM

iPhone 17 Pro Price in India Could See a Hike with Bigger Base Storage
The iPhone 17 Pro price in India is expected to be higher this year, according to a new leak. The main reason is Apple's plan to increase the base storage for the Pro model. Currently, the iPhone 16 Pro starts at 128GB storage, but the iPhone 17 specs may include a minimum of 256GB for the Pro variant. A Chinese tipster named Instant Digital has claimed that the iPhone 17 Pro will start with 256GB storage and cost $1,049 internationally (around ₹91,735). In India, considering the current pricing pattern, the iPhone 17 price leak suggests the Pro model could cost around ₹1,25,000 for the 256GB version. The iPhone 16 Pro was launched at $999 (₹1,19,900 in India) for 128GB storage, and $1,199 (₹1,29,900) for 256GB. If the leaks are true, the iPhone 17 Pro 256GB could cost a bit less than last year's 256GB model, even though the starting price will be higher than the 128GB version. Rumours say Apple might launch the iPhone 17 in September 2025, possibly on the 9th. But since Apple usually sends invites about two weeks before the event, we'll probably get the official date only around August 25. At this launch event, we can also expect the Apple Watch Series 11 and maybe a few other surprises. For now, we'll have to wait and see if the leaked details about the iPhone 17's price, storage, and features are actually true. If the leaks are right, the iPhone 17 Pro will give buyers more storage from the start, though it might cost a little more than before.
