Whatever Happened to SanDisk's High Bandwidth Flash? 3TB Per GPU Promise Met With Silence

A Redditor asks why nobody is talking about SanDisk's High Bandwidth Flash (HBF), announced two months ago with claims of up to 3TB of flash storage on a single GPU and multi-terabyte read speeds for AI. Since the announcement — which showcased a stacked architecture using BICS technology and up to 4,896GB total memory — there has been near-total silence: no praise, no criticism, nothing. The post wonders whether the tech is genuinely promising and overlooked or was dismissed by the industry from day one.
