  2. Density (computer storage) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_(computer_storage)

    That said, the price of high-capacity drives has fallen rapidly, and this is indeed an effect of density. The highest capacity drives use more platters, essentially individual hard drives within the case. As the density increases, the number of platters can be reduced, leading to lower costs. Hard drives are often measured in terms of cost per bit.

  3. Memory hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_hierarchy

    The number of levels in the memory hierarchy and the performance at each level has increased over time. The type of memory or storage components also change historically. [6] For example, the memory hierarchy of an Intel Haswell Mobile [7] processor circa 2013 is: Processor registers – the fastest possible access (usually 1 CPU cycle). A few ...

  4. Computer data storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage

    Molecular memory might be especially suited for primary storage. The theoretical storage capacity of molecular memory is 10 terabits per square inch (16 Gbit/mm 2). [34] Magnetic photoconductors store magnetic information, which can be modified by low-light illumination. [31] DNA stores information in DNA nucleotides. It was first done in 2012 ...

  7. DDR SDRAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_SDRAM

    To increase memory capacity and bandwidth, chips are combined on a module. For instance, the 64-bit data bus for DIMM requires eight 8-bit chips, addressed in parallel. Multiple chips with common address lines are called a memory rank. The term was introduced to avoid confusion with chip internal rows and banks. A memory module may bear more ...

  8. GDDR SDRAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDDR_SDRAM

    Graphics DDR SDRAM (GDDR SDRAM) is a type of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) specifically designed for applications requiring high bandwidth, [1] e.g. graphics processing units (GPUs).

  9. Flash memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

    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 ...
