SSD
A solid-state drive (SSD) is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store persistent data. An SSD emulates a hard disk drive interface, thus easily replacing it in most applications. An SSD using SRAM or DRAM (instead of flash memory) is often called a RAM-drive, not to be confused with a RAM disk.
SSDs Take Hold in Embedded Applications
Amazing as it might seem, there has never been a “specific” solid-state drive (SSD) form factor designed for onboard storage for the embedded system OEM market. Rather, designers haveRead More...
