Embedded Computing Design

NAND flash has been available for more than three decades. Today it’s used everywhere, from gaming consoles to mobile phones to server farms in data centers. You can find the technology in solid state drives (SSDs), USB drives, audio and video flash media devices, and much more. As NAND technology evolves and adoption increases across different market segments, it’s easy for people to pick up on bits of misinformation along the way and start believing things about NAND flash that are no longer—or never have been—true.
