Issues with a host computer PCIe bus interface or its power supplies can cause the host/SSD interface to unexpectedly no longer recognize an operating SSD. If this occurs, that SSD is described as having fallen off the bus ...

Different bus systems, such as the SD and e.MMC interface, SATA or PCIe, offer various properties in terms of data transfer rates and connectivity. These systems, however, are not immune to special challenges in PCB design ...

Partitioning can have a big influence on the speed and the lifetime of an SSD. Mainly with older industrial systems, whose operating systems still originate from the time before the wide spread of SSDs, this problem occurs frequently ...

Swissbit has been one of the leading suppliers of SD Memory Cards for industrial use as well as for the automotive industry for many years.This TechNote was created from this experience ...

The presence of factory bad blocks in NAND flash is as much a technology reason as the occurrence of additional bad blocks during the lifetime.
Both are no (negative) quality indications. However, with the occurrence of bad blocks ...

To compare speed specifications in data sheets of NAND flash memory media, the test conditions must be identical. If the measurement was not started repeatedly or did not cover the entire logical address space ...

Unlike hard drives or NOR flash, NAND flash does not have a fixed mapping of logical memory addresses to physical memory addresses.The assignment takes place via mapping tables, which are managed by the firmware ...
