  2. USB flash drive security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive_security

    The prevalence of malware infection by means of USB flash drive was documented in a 2011 Microsoft study [6] analyzing data from more than 600 million systems worldwide in the first half of 2011. The study found that 26 percent of all malware infections of Windows system were due to USB flash drives exploiting the AutoRun feature in Microsoft ...

  3. Flash memory controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory_controller

    Usually, flash memory controllers also include the "flash translation layer" (FTL), a layer below the file system that maps host side or file system logical block addresses (LBAs) to the physical address of the flash memory (logical-to-physical mapping). The LBAs refer to sector numbers and to a mapping unit of 512 bytes.

    A flash drive (also thumb drive, memory stick, and pen drive/pendrive) [1] [note 1] is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface. A typical USB drive is removable, rewritable, and smaller than an optical disc , and usually weighs less than 30 g (1 oz).

  5. Wear leveling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_leveling

    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 ...

  6. Common Flash Memory Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Flash_Memory_Interface

    The Common Flash Memory Interface (CFI) is an open standard jointly developed by AMD, Intel, Sharp and Fujitsu. It is implementable by all flash memory vendors, and has been approved by the non-volatile-memory subcommittee of JEDEC. [1] [2] The goal of the specification is the interchangeability of flash memory devices offered by different ...

  7. Flash file system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_file_system

    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 .
