SLC NAND Flash Memory Market Overview
NAND flash memory is nonvolatile and stores data even when the power is turned off. This feature makes NAND an excellent choice for internal, external, and portable devices. There are several types of NAND. The single-level cell (SLC) NAND provides the best performance and the highest endurance with a 100,000 program/erase cycle (P/E cycle). SLC NAND stores only 1 bit of information per cell. The cell stores either a 0 or 1. As a result, the data can be written and retrieved faster, which makes it last longer than the other types of NAND. The high endurance of SLC NAND makes it ideal for a broad range of consumer and industrial applications that require dependable and long-lasting supply. Internet of Things (IoT) devices, automobiles, networking equipment, set-top boxes, DSL and cable modems, digital television, mobile phones, printers, and other industrial products are equipped with SLC NAND flash memory. Because of its higher reliability, it has found applications in enterprises requiring high performance and data integrity, such as industrial automation, medical devices, and aviation systems. Major advantages of SLC NAND flash memory are the longest erase and program cycle lifespan, rapid read and write speeds, and lower probability of read/write errors.
