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,
