Carpet Wear & Pizza Boxes: SSD Performance & Endurance
So Micron is a co-chair on the task group within JEDEC that’s working to better define SSD standards. We work with others in the industry to define the future standards that will apply to SSD products with the goal of defining a shared language for building, testing, and measuring solid state storage products. So because we’re so heavily involved in driving these new standards, I always enjoy hearing new claims of SSD performance and endurance. Sometimes I’m impressed … oftentimes it’s just good to see others catch-up…
In order to help folks better understand some of the claims out there, I thought I’d provide a quick overview on managing NAND on an SSD as well as some background on wear-leveling concepts.
