Flash Memory Technology Direction
Overview A number of key new computing system initiatives - including Windows Vista ReadyBoost and Windows ReadyDrive technologies - exploit the performance, economy, power efficiency, and high reliability of NAND Flash memory. System designers implementing NAND Flash-based traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) or newer Hybrid Hard Drives (HHDs) and Solid State Disks (SSDs) face a number of decisions. This paper explains the trade-offs associated with available disk caching methods, the differences between various types of Flash memory, and the advantages that NAND offers when superior performance is critically important.
