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 ...

Storage and memory are the two major holding areas for programs and data in a computer, tablet or smartphone, and their interplay is the fundamental architecture of computer processing. Unfortunately, ...

Storage performance is never good enough. DRAM speeds are measured in nanoseconds, but is volatile/non-persistent, meanwhile, even the fastest non-volatile storage – such as Intel Optane/3D XPoint – ...

Non-volatile memory or non-volatile storage is a computer memory which allows the retrieval of information even in the absence of power source. The circuit incorporates the technology of Electrically ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

PCI Express-based NMVe has brought flash storage closer to the processor providing fast access with low overhead. It delivers a more efficient link to flash than disk interfaces like SATA and SAS (see ...
