How do SSDs Work? How to fit 3 WEEKS of TV in a microchip the size of a dime!! Explained in 3min.

Have you spent the last 3 weeks binging TV shows? How do microchips inside your smartphone, laptop, or table store 3 weeks [1 Terabyte] of information in a space the size of a dime?
This quick explanation is an abridged version of the full 18 minute video found here:

This video is part of a series that intends to thoroughly explain how SSDs, and more specifically how VNAND works. These are the episodes in the series:
1) [18min] Overview on how SSDs / VNAND / Smartphone storage works.
2) [3min] Quick/Abridged episode of the overview
3) How charge trap flash works. (details on a single memory cell)
4) How strings of memory cells work (details on a stack of memory cells)
5) How a massive array of memory cells are organized. (Terabit Cell Array Transistor, TCAT)
6) How is VNAND manufactured?
7) Possible episode on an analogy using a city & apartments to explain VNAND.

Key Branches from this video are: Microchips, CPUs, Integrated Circuits,

You can find more creator's comments in the English (Canada) Subtitles. Let me know what you think!

[goldilockszone]

The channel should be compulsory learning in every school

[cptawesome]

That is absolutely mind blowing. To think 70 years ago a megabyte HDD was the size of a small car. I'm constantly awe struck by what humans can do.

[Mpanagiotopoulos]

An alien would be amazed just to see how far humanity has evolved.Most of us are really unaware of the technology that goes behind these things
.We simply hit the phone to the wall, when it's not working lol

[Manu-jcsx]

This is brilliant. One of the few channels in youtube that always upload best quality content. Hats off.

[muxallopeniot]

I've always wondered how SSDs work. Somehow you showed it in under three minutes. Great job Branch Education!

[timfreeeed]

I wish you are preparing this for every hardware part, CPU and GPU. This content will skyrocket soon

[madpixelyt]

This channel is amazing, one of the best i had found in youtube

[abhishekasthana]

This channel should be awarded by YOUTUBE.

[NeedITDeathHeated]

The voice actor kills it. Love your work Teddy.

[saladamista]

I am really impacted with the quality of this channel. Amazing !

[chrisjoseph]

Love your videos 💕. Make more like this.🙂

[artsections]

Great video.
Thank you
I really appreciate it

Whoever came up with the binary system is a genius. You can represent pretty much anything with 1s and 0s. I wonder if eventually we'll figure out something even better. I remember learning about moving bits/bytes to different memory registers in assembly and it then it all finally clicked.

[almasrafi]

Truly, ...such a fantastic example, knowing About how ssd works..
Even I thought how this stuff works...but now I have no question about it and so on

[nicolailongo]

Can you do a video on how the binary numbers of information are actually communicated between the Processor & the memory cells. I know they are basically doing math equations, and their is a lot of logic Gates involved, but this would really bring it all together for me!

[learnandteach.]

Teach in a way that someone could learn, and you are on another level.
Excellent explained.
Keep up the great work 👍

[mikimouse]

I love this channel, the animation and details are amazing, and no offence but I personally enjoy this narrator's voice so much more, it just sounds very professional. Keep up the good work.

[DogHeadset]

i wonder how tf they could manage something so small

[mohnishkumar]

best explanation of ssd i've ever seen.
