Samsung prepares future V-NAND memory with 200-layers, offering high capacities and increased performance In 2013, Samsung created a 24-layer V-NAND flash memory, a significant advancement ahead of time and somewhat futuristic to the company’s rivals.

In a blog post on Steam, Valve mentions that production is actually going faster than expected and will move some reservations up.
