A flash file system is a file system designed for storing files on flash memory–based storage devices. While flash file systems are closely related to file systems in general, they are optimized for the nature and characteristics of flash memory (such as to avoid write amplification ), and for use in particular operating systems .
Flash memory is an electronic non-volatile computer memory storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. The two main types of flash memory, NOR flash and NAND flash, are named for the NOR and NAND logic gates. Both use the same cell design, consisting of floating-gate MOSFETs. They differ at the circuit level depending on ...
The flash drives present a simple block-structured logical unit to the host operating system, hiding the individual complex implementation details of the various underlying flash memory devices. The operating system can use any file system or block addressing scheme. Some computers can boot up from flash drives.
UBIFS (UBI File System, more fully Unsorted Block Image File System) is a flash file system for unmanaged flash memory devices. [1] UBIFS works on top of an UBI (unsorted block image) layer, [2] which is itself on top of a memory technology device (MTD) layer. [3] The file system is developed by Nokia engineers with help of the University of ...

F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system initially developed by Samsung Electronics for the Linux kernel. [ 5 ] The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that, from the start, takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory -based storage devices (such as solid-state disks , eMMC , and SD cards), which are ...
A flash memory storage system with no wear leveling will not last very long if data is written to the flash. Without wear leveling, the underlying flash controller must permanently assign the logical addresses from the operating system (OS) to the physical addresses of the flash memory. This means that every write to a previously written block ...
Universal Flash Storage (UFS) is a flash storage specification for digital cameras, mobile phones and consumer electronic devices. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was designed to bring higher data transfer speed and increased reliability to flash memory storage, while reducing market confusion and removing the need for different adapters for different types of ...
