  2. Trim (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(computing)

    An SSD write operation can be done to a single page but, due to hardware limitations, erase commands always affect entire blocks; [11] consequently, writing data to empty pages on an SSD is very fast, but slows down considerably once previously written pages need to be overwritten.

  3. Solid-state storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

    A solid-state drive (SSD) provides secondary storage for relatively complex systems including personal computers, embedded systems, portable devices, large servers and network-attached storage (NAS). To satisfy such a wide range of uses, SSDs are produced with various features, capacities, interfaces and physical sizes and layouts. [4]

  4. Write amplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification

    Write amplification (WA) is an undesirable phenomenon associated with flash memory and solid-state drives (SSDs) where the actual amount of information physically written to the storage media is a multiple of the logical amount intended to be written.

  5. Data erasure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_erasure

    New flash memory-based media implementations, such as solid-state drives or USB flash drives, can cause data erasure techniques to fail allowing remnant data to be recoverable. [1] Software-based overwriting uses a software application to write a stream of zeros, ones or meaningless pseudorandom data onto all sectors of a hard disk drive.

  6. Disk formatting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting

    A block, a contiguous number of bytes, is the minimum unit of storage that is read from and written to a disk by a disk driver.The earliest disk drives had fixed block sizes (e.g. the IBM 350 disk storage unit (of the late 1950s) block size was 100 six-bit characters) but starting with the 1301 [8] IBM marketed subsystems that featured variable block sizes: a particular track could have blocks ...

  9. Wear leveling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_leveling

    Wear leveling (also written as wear levelling) is a technique [1] for prolonging the service life of some kinds of erasable computer storage media, such as flash memory, which is used in solid-state drives (SSDs) and USB flash drives, and phase-change memory.
