Flash Memory
DEFINITION: Flash memory (sometimes called "flash RAM") is a type of constantly-powered nonvolatile memory that can be erased and reprogrammed in units of memory called blocks. 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. Flash memory is often used to hold control … Definition continues below.

StorExpress: Integrating Solid State Storage in a PCI Express Clustering Interconnect sponsored by Fusion-IO WHITE PAPER: Direct PCI Express (PCIe) attached flash storage offers unparalleled performance levels and vastly outperforms SAS/SATA-attached flash storage solutions. However, such PCIe attached flash storage cards have many restrictions. Read this white paper to learn about an enhanced PCIe flash storage solution from Dolphin, in partnership with Fusion-IO.

NAND Flash Storage in Enterprise Applications sponsored by Fusion-IO WHITE PAPER: Flash storage is now a top contender for new enterprise storage applications. The I/O randomization caused by widespread virtual machine adoption demands higher I/O performance. Faster than disks, cheaper than DRAM, flash is occupying a new layer in the storage pyramid. Read this paper to further investigate flash storage.

FLASH MEMORY DEFINITION (continued): … code such as the basic input/output system (BIOS) in a personal computer. 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. 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.Flash memory gets its name because the microchip is organized so that a section of memory cells are erased in a single action or "flash." The erasure is caused by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling in which electrons pierce through a thin dielectric …
