The following were the largest NAND flash memory manufacturers, as of the second quarter of 2023. [26] Samsung Electronics – 31.4%; Kioxia – 20.6%; Western Digital Corporation – 12.6%; SK Hynix – 18.5%; Micron Technology – 12.3%
NVM Express (NVMe) or Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface Specification (NVMHCIS) is an open, logical-device interface specification for accessing a computer's non-volatile storage media usually attached via the PCI Express bus.
When the system or device needs to read data from or write data to the flash memory, it will communicate with the flash memory controller. Simpler devices like SD cards and USB flash drives typically have a small number of flash memory die connected simultaneously. Operations are limited to the speed of the individual flash memory die.
As SSD technology continues to improve, they are increasingly used in ultra-mobile PCs and lightweight laptop systems. The first flash-memory SSD based PC to become available was the Sony Vaio UX90, announced for pre-order on 27 June 2006 and began shipping in Japan on 3 July 2006 with a 16 GB flash memory hard drive.

Phison SSD controller. Phison Electronics Corporation (Chinese: 群聯電子; pinyin: Qúnlián Diànzǐ) is a Taiwanese public electronics company that primarily designs, manufactures and sells controllers for NAND flash memory chips. [1] These are integrated into flash-based products such as USB flash drives, memory cards, and solid-state ...
An illustration of the write amplification phenomenon in flash-based storage devices. Over time, advancements in central processing unit (CPU) speed has driven innovation in secondary storage technology. [7] One such innovation, flash memory, is a non-volatile storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.
Sold its NAND flash memory and SSD businesses to SK Hynix. Intel has terminated its Optane line of memory. Sold its NAND flash memory and SSD businesses to SK Hynix. Intel has terminated its Optane line of SSDs. No Sold its NAND flash memory and SSD businesses to SK Hynix, so SK Hynix now makes those controllers.
After trimming, the SSD will not preserve any contents of the block when writing new data to a page of flash memory, resulting in less write amplification (fewer writes), higher write throughput (no need for a read-erase-modify sequence), thus increasing drive life. Different SSDs implement the command somewhat differently, so performance can vary.
