Reading Time-approximately: 3 minutesWhich type of NAND flash memory is best for your environment? We break down five major NAND flash options, their benefits and where they work best. By Erin Sullivan NAND flash was largely developed to give flash memory a fighting chance in the market against the competition, such as hard disks and other magnetic storage options. By cutting the costs
Reading Time-approximately: 7 minutesLearn the important capacity, performance and reliability differences between multilayer flash when it comes to adding SSD storage to your organization. By Marc Staimer Flash, a.k.a. NAND, SSDs continue to be a hot topic for IT pros. They are found in storage arrays, NAS, appliances, drives and PCIe memory cards. Flash SSDs have rapidly become part of every storage acquisition
Reading Time-approximately: 2 minutesQuad-level NAND has its benefits, but is it right for enterprise-level companies? While it can be plagued by performance and durability issues, the technology still has its uses. By Brien Posey It’s at least somewhat tempting to dismiss quad-level NAND as a poor choice for use in enterprise-class organizations. After all, the quad-level cells in storage devices are far less
Reading Time-approximately: 4 minutesCache memory and RAM both place data closer to the processor to reduce latency in response times. Learn why one can be faster, along with other key variables in cache vs. RAM. By Garry Kranz, Jon Toigo and Stacey Peterson RAM and cache memory are both fast, volatile memory technologies that play a pivotal role in computing. So what’s the
Reading Time-approximately: 3 minutesHere’s what you need to know to pick the NVMe array that provides your organization with the performance improvement it needs and also fits its budget. By George Crump When selecting your first NVMe storage array, it’s important to understand the four basic implementation options to get the system that best meets your enterprise’s performance needs and budget. 1.

Reading Time-approximately: 7 minutesAn all-flash array (AFA), also known as a solid-state storage disk system or a solid-state array, is an external storage array that uses only flash media for persistent storage. By Garry Kranz and Brien Posey Flash memory is used in place of the spinning hard disk drives (HDDs) that have long been associated with networked storage systems. Vendors that sell all-flash arrays usually
Reading Time-approximately: 4 minutesTRIM is a command for the ATA interface. As you use your drive, changing and deleting information, the SSD needs to make sure that invalid information is deleted and that space is available for new information to be written. Trim tells your SSD which pieces of data can be erased. By Carol Sliwa SSD TRIM is an Advanced Technology Attachment
