Samsung объявил о получении экологического сертификата для накопителей 512Гб V-NAND и 860 EVO 4TB SSD



В официальном пресс-релизе Samsung объявил о получении первого в отрасли сертификата экологической надёжности в Южной Корее (EPD) на модули памяти 512Gb и 860 EVO 4Tb SSD с 64-разрядным 3-битным V-NAND. 
Декларация экологического продукта является национальной системой сертификации в Южной Корее, которая признаёт эффективность изделия в соответствии с 7-ю ключевыми экологическими метриками, включая углеродный след, ресурсный след, истощение озона, подкисление, эвтрофикацию, фотохимический смог и водный след.
«Сертификация EPD продемонстрирует нашим клиентам, что высокопроизводительные продукты Samsung предлагают не только передовые технологии, но и сертифицированную экологическую надёжность», - сказал Майк Манг, вице-президент по маркетингу брэндов, подразделение Memory Business в Samsung Electronics. «В будущем Samsung планирует начать массовое производство V-NAND на 1Тб, чтобы возглавить рост быстрорастущего рынка ультравысоких мощностей и укрепить своё экологическое лидерство в мире хайтэка».

Samsung Receives the Industry’s First Environmental Product Declaration Certificate for 512Gb V-NAND and 860 EVO 4TB SSD

Samsung’s efforts to reduce its environmental footprint continue with the launch of eco-friendly high-capacity SSD product line-ups

Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it is being recognized for its environmental reliability by receiving the industry’s first Environmental Product Declaration* (EPD) certificate in Korea with its 512Gb 64-layer 3bit V-NAND and 860 EVO 4TB SSD.
The Environmental Product Declaration is a national certification system in Korea which recognizes a product’s performance according to seven key environmental metrics including carbon footprint, resource footprint, ozone depletion, acidification, eutrophication, photochemical smog, and water footprint.
In terms of per capacity (gigabit), the carbon emission of the 512Gb 3-bit V-NAND has been reduced to less than half of that of the 10-nanometer (nm)-class 64Gb V-NAND that was certified last year.
An 8TB SSD composed with the 512Gb V-NAND can reduce approximately 240kg CO2 of carbon emission per year compared to a 8TB SSD product composed with the 64Gb NAND, producing the same effect as planting twenty-five 30-year-old trees**.
“The EPD certification will serve as an assurance to our customers that Samsung’s high-capacity products offer not only cutting-edge technology, but also certified environmental reliability” said Mike Mang, Vice President of Brand Product Marketing, Memory Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung plans to begin mass production of 1Tb V-NAND in the future to lead the growth of the rapidly expanding ultrahigh-capacity storage market and strengthen its eco-friendly technology leadership.”
Samsung Electronics seeks to leverage its advancements in environmental reliability to lead the consumer market by exceeding customer expectations, just as it has continuously delivered in high performance and energy efficiency in the corporate SSD market.
Samsung earned its first low carbon footprint certification for the DDR3 DRAM server module in 2009 and had since expanded its environmental certification portfolio across its key products, including NAND flash, LPDDR, SSD, and application processors.

* The EPD certification is developed in accordance with the International Standards ISO 14000s (14025, 14044, 14046). The certification is managed by the Korean Ministry of Environment and operated by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute.
** The amount of carbon absorbed by an average 30-year-old tree in a year is 9.36 kg CO2.
