Even as a mature, diverse and reliable technology—magnetic spinning disk drives (aka hard disk drives or “HDDs”) continue to grow in capacity, performance and cost benefits. Alternative storage ...

Samsung’s 3D V-NAND flash architecture increases capacity by layering 24 cells on top of each other (see the figure). The technology improves reliability by a factor of two to 10 while delivering ...

At some point when developing embedded applications, you’re going to want to store unique values in non-volatile memory, values that can’t be fixed at compilation time. Many microcontrollers have a ...

Following are the different types of RAM and storage technologies used in electronic devices. They fall into two categories: volatile and non-volatile. Volatile chips lose their content the instant ...

At the most recent Flash Memory Summit the Seagate Technology keynote speaker showed a slide with data derived from the 2017 Digital Universe study by IDC and sponsored by Seagate. Lots of people have ...

Modern computers have so many layers of storage. You have the registers where the processor stores its work, then a few levels of progressively slower and larger caches, your main system memory, and ...

Non-volatile storage holds critical code and user data, making it vulnerable to cyberattacks. This article outlines the various code storage flash technologies used today and their contribution to ...

“What’s the difference between memory and storage?” It’s a computer question everybody asks at least once in their life. And if you’re the “computer person” in your family, maybe you’ve answered it a ...

Tech giants such as Amazon, Facebook, and Google have redefined IT for web-scale applications, leveraging standard servers and shared-nothing architectures to ensure maximum operational efficiency, ...

The Flash Memory Summit was host to a range of new technology. Find our about 3D Vertical Flash and more. Samsung’s 3D V-NAND flash architecture increases capacity by layering 24 cells on top of each ...

Lasting without power. All storage is non-volatile; however, most memory (RAM) is not, but there are exceptions (see non-volatile memory). See storage vs. memory. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ...
