Flash disks have no mechanical platters or access arms, but the term "disk" is used because the data are accessed as if they were on a hard drive. The disk storage structure is emulated.

NAND Flash is named after the NAND (NOT-AND) logic gate, which is used in its basic architecture. The term "NAND" is derived from the way the memory cells are organized in a series-connected structure ...

With the demand for an increasing number of bytes-per-square-millimeter for Flash storage ever present, manufacturers have done their utmost to shrink the transistors and other structures that ...

Flash storage technology and standards have evolved rapidly to meet these requirements. Universal Flash Storage (UFS) was created for mobile applications and computer ...

[Gene] has a project that writes a lot of settings to a PIC microcontroller’s Flash memory. Flash has limited read/erase cycles, and although the obvious problem ...

With the additions to its all-flash storage array lineup, Pure Storage now covers the gamut of storage needs from the entry-level and secondary storage levels to the highest-performance storage ...

However, this block erasing is flash memory's peculiarity. Flash memory cells must be erased before they can be written to. Cells make up pages, and pages make up blocks, but while pages are ...

That growth is unsustainable with the current disk-based storage technology. So we introduced flash-based storage for multi-petabyte unstructured workloads at the same cost as disk-based systems ...
