Solid-state drives (SSDs) have been a favorite among gamers since their inception. Their superior read and write performance freed computers from the constraints of mechanical hard drives, significantly improving overall system performance and providing faster speeds. SSDs have even revitalized many older computers. However, the widespread adoption of SSDs has still faced challenges.
When discussing the history of solid-state drives (SSDs), we must mention NAND flash memory technology. As a non-volatile storage technology, NAND flash memory is an array composed of tens of thousands of cells. The potential within each cell and the storage capacity have driven the emergence of different types of flash memory chips, commonly referred to as SLC/MLC/TLC/QLC.
