Recent advances in Flash memory design and production processes have made Flash the hottest new storage technology. Now, new Flash-based solid-state disk drives, or SSDs, are poised to bring enhanced driver experiences to notebook, server, and enthusiast computers. This paper reviews the SSD architecture and its Flash memory chip, examines the benefits of flash-based SSDs, and lists the potential users of this technology.

Architecture

Solid State Disk (SSD) Drives are completely interchangeable with industry standard hard disk drives. SSDs conform to the same physical dimensions as hard drives, so they can fit in the standard drive bays and enclosures used by millions of computers. And SSDs use the same Serial ATA (SATA) or IDE interface as hard drives, making them functionally identical. This 100% physical and electrical compatibility and interchangeability with hard drives makes it very easy to design SSDs into systems and storage appliances.

In short, an SSD is a storage device that is based on semiconductors rather than rotating magnetic platters. Most SSDs, including Super Talent’s offerings, are based on NAND Flash chips because they are fast, highly reliable, widely available and are non-volatile, meaning they save data even without a power source.
