| | Flash memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Flash memory is also used in USB flash drives, which are used for general storage and transfer of data between computers. | | | Flash memory costs far less than EEPROM and therefore has become the dominant technology wherever a significant amount of non-voltatile, solid-state storage is needed. | | | One limitation of flash memory is that although it can be read or programmed a byte or a word at a time in a random access fashion, it must be erased a "block" at a time. |

| | USB flash drive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Flash storage devices are best compared to other common, portable, swappable data storage devices: floppy disks, Zip disks, and CD-R/CD-RW discs. | | | Flash drives are also a relatively dense form of storage - even the cheapest will store dozens of floppy disks worth of data, and a moderately priced one can hold as much data as a CD or more. | | | Some computers have the ability to boot up from flash drives, but that capability must be supported in the computer's BIOS, and (like other mass storage devices) the flash drive must be set up to do so and loaded with a bootable disk image (rather than a conventional filesystem image). |

| | Define flash memory - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: flash RAM |
| | On the other hand, flash memory is not useful as random access memory (RAM) because RAM needs to be addressable at the byte (not the block) level. | | | It is a variation of electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) which, unlike flash memory, is erased and rewritten at the byte level, which is slower than flash memory updating. | | | When BIOS needs to be changed (rewritten), the flash memory can be written to in block (rather than byte) sizes, making it easy to update. |

| | Unlike traditional computer memory, flash is nonvolatile (that is, data stays in the chip after the computer goes off) and can record data in a "flash." | | | Intel, meanwhile, is experimenting with Ovonics Unified Memory, an energy-efficient technology that differs from traditional flash in that it isn't based on trapped electrons. | | | Depending on what the charge inside is, the computer reads the memory cell as a "1" or "0". |

| | Unlike magnetic memory used in computer hard and floppy disks, flash memory is an electrically rewritable memory using one of the basic logic gates of the transistor. | | | The NOR-type memory devices arrange memory cells in parallel and are better suited for random access. | | | The NAND-type device stores data in a series of memory cells organized into 528-byte sectors, 16 sectors in a block. |

| | AMD is the second largest manufacturer of flash memory, after Intel, which has said it is working with several potential replacements, including "plastic" memory, or polymer ferroelectric RAM (PFRAM); Ovonics Unified Memory, which uses the same materials as rewritable CDs; and magnetic RAM. | | | That makes flash an essential feature in millions of cellular phones, handheld computers, digital cameras and music players. | | | Barring breakthroughs, the technology will need to be replaced by the time it gets to 45 nanometers, near the end of the decade, said Craig Sander, vice president of process technology development for Advanced Micro Devices. |

| | Flash memory solutions are quickly becoming a replacement for both since they offer adequate personal storage at a fraction of the cost with the ability to be used just about anywhere. | | | In fact the only downfall was with the ZIP disk itself, these cartages where fairly expensive and was prone to "the click of death", a syndrome that rendered the disk unreadable by most ZIP drives and sometimes resulted in its destruction. | | | Sandra is a software collection of synthetic benchmarks that will give us a basic idea as to what a system is capable of. |
