  2. Solid-state drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

    Micron and Intel pioneered faster SSDs by implementing techniques such as data striping and interleaving to enhance read/write speeds. [56] More recently, SandForce introduced controllers that incorporate data compression to reduce the amount of data written to the flash memory, potentially increasing both performance and endurance. [57]

  3. Solid-state storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

    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.

    Checks the list of pending sectors that may have read errors, and it usually takes under two minutes. Long/extended A longer and more thorough version of the short self-test, scanning the entire disk surface with no time limit. This test usually takes several hours, depending on the read/write speed of the drive and its size.

  6. Write amplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification

    Write amplification goes down and SSD speed goes up when data compression and deduplication eliminates more redundant data. Variable Inverse (good) Using MLC NAND in SLC mode This writes data at a rate of one bit per cell instead of the designed number of bits per cell (normally two bits per cell or three bits per cell) to speed up reads and ...

  7. Hard disk drive performance characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive...

    The spindle motor speed can use one of two types of disk rotation methods: 1) constant linear velocity (CLV), used mainly in optical storage, varies the rotational speed of the optical disc depending upon the position of the head, and 2) constant angular velocity (CAV), used in HDDs, standard FDDs, a few optical disc systems, and vinyl audio ...

  8. Computer data storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage

    Slow write, fast read storage Read/write storage which allows information to be overwritten multiple times, but with the write operation being much slower than the read operation. Examples include CD-RW and SSD. Write once storage Write once read many (WORM) allows the

  9. Wear leveling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_leveling

    This means that every write to a previously written block must first be read, erased, modified, and re-written to the same location. This approach is very time-consuming and frequently written locations will wear out quickly, while other locations will not be used at all. Once a few blocks reach their end of life, such a device becomes ...
