Flash-based storage does not suffer the limitation of a battery, but RAM-backed storage is faster and does not experience write amplification. [ 3 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] As a result of having no moving mechanical parts, solid-state storage has no data access latency required to move the media as in an electromechanical storage device.
The SSD controller will use free blocks on the SSD for garbage collection and wear leveling. The portion of the user capacity which is free from user data (either already TRIMed or never written in the first place) will look the same as over-provisioning space (until the user saves new data to the SSD).
The number of defective blocks in different chips within a NAND flash memory varies: a given chip could have all its data blocks worn out while another chip in the same device could have all its blocks still active. Global wear leveling addresses this problem by managing all blocks from all chips in the flash memory together―in a single pool.
Comparison of NAND-based SSD and HDD Attribute or characteristic Solid-state drive (SSD) Hard disk drive (HDD) Price per capacity SSDs are generally more expensive than HDDs and are expected to remain so. As of early 2018, SSD prices were around $0.30 per gigabyte for 4 TB models. [23]
Regardless of operating system, the drive can detect when the computer writes all zeros to a block, and de-allocate (trim) that block instead of recording the block of zeros. If reading a de-allocated block always returns zeros, this shortcut is transparent to the user, except for faster writing (and reading) of all-zero blocks, in addition to ...

The number of program/erase (PE) cycles is limited. Because of these constraints SSD controllers write data to NAND flash memory in another order than the logical block order. This implies that the SSD controller must maintain a mapping table from host (logical) to NAND (physical) addresses. This mapping is usually called the L2P table.
Amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. The 11 amino acids our bodies synthesize are called “nonessential,” but we need nine others (known as “essential”) to survive.
