Solid State Drives use the NAND flash memory to store the data. There are four types of NAND flash available in the SSD market i.e. SLC, MLC, TLC, and QLC. SLC NAND flash has the lowest storage density but the best performance and endurance. While QLC has the highest storage density it has the worst […]
When looking for an SSD or even a flash drive, people often come across different NAND Flash technologies and are confused about which one to choose. To give you a context, 2D NAND is an older NAND Flash technology while the 3D NAND is the latest variant with many improvements. The V-NAND is a marketing
Both charge trap flash and floating gate are non-volatile memory technologies used in flash storage devices. Basically, these two technologies indicate how the memory cell inside the flash memory stores the data in the form of charge. The charge trap is a more advanced method with better capabilities of data retention. The floating gate technology
I have already published an article discussing the differences and working of different types of NAND Flash cells. In that article, we discussed that SLC and MLC NAND SSDs are saturated for enterprise environments. For consumer markets, we mainly have two options i.e. QLC and TLC SSDs. So, this article is going to compare both.
NAND Flash Memory is used everywhere including SSDs, flash drives, smartphones, digital cameras, tablets, memory cards, and various consumer electronics. Because of its high-density storage, fast read/write operations, high durability, and low power consumption, NAND Flash is preferred everywhere for permanent data storage. This memory is the most popular type of memory in almost every
