The advances in microchip technology have allowed Data storage size, access rates, reliability and durability to increase dramatically to rates and sizes not imagined just several years agoFlash memory or NAND is a growing Technology in mass storage whose applications have just started to make its mark in the world of electronics.Devices such as PDAs, Pen Drives, MPEG players, Cameras and Mobile Phones are using Flash TechnologyFlash memory can be embedded on expansion cards, motherboards and circuit boards. It can also be made into memory cards that expand the memory of devices.Flash memory sticks for devices come in different packaging depending on size and use requirementsMajor MakersMajor MakersSamsungSamsungToshibaToshibaInfineon TechnologiesInfineon TechnologiesHynix SemiconductorHynix SemiconductorSTMicroelectronicsSTMicroelectronicsMicron TechnologyMicron TechnologyIntelIntelIntel – Leader in Intel – Leader in Embedded SolutionsEmbedded SolutionsIntel is the world's leading supplier of Intel is the world's leading supplier of flash memory for wireless cell phones flash memory for wireless cell phones and handheld devices.

They try to produce smarter cars. They try to produce sensors with lane tracking, departure sensors with lane tracking, departure warning, collision avoidance, and warning, collision avoidance, and pedestrian protection. It will give you pedestrian protection. It will give you smart air bags, accident smart air bags, accident reconstruction, to drive-by-wire, and reconstruction, to drive-by-wire, and rear-view video.rear-view video.Flash Memory In UseFlash Memory In UseDigital Photo StorageDigital Photo Storage–CompactFlashCompactFlash–Secure Digital (SD)Secure Digital (SD)–Memory StickMemory Stick–xD-PicturexD-Picture–SmartMediaSmartMedia–MultiMediaMultiMediaUSB Storage DiskUSB Storage DiskRoutersRoutersMusic PlayersMusic PlayersCellphones/PDACellphones/PDAFax MachinesFax MachinesDigital Set-top Digital Set-top ConvertersConvertersPricesPricesApple iPod shuffle 512MB - $99.99Apple iPod shuffle 512MB - $99.99Apple iPod nano 2GB - $199.99Apple iPod nano 2GB - $199.99Apple iPod nano 4GB - $249.99Apple iPod nano 4GB - $249.99Motorola RAZR V3 5.5MB- $449.99Motorola RAZR V3 5.5MB- $449.99SanDisk - 2.0GB Ultra II CompactFlash SanDisk - 2.0GB Ultra II CompactFlash Memory Card - $269.99Memory Card - $269.99SanDisk - 4.0GB CompactFlash SanDisk - 4.0GB CompactFlash Memory Card - $449.99Memory Card - $449.99Features Of Flash Features Of Flash MemoryMemoryThe size of flash memory sticks can be The size of flash memory sticks can be compared to the size of a pack of bubble compared to the size of a pack of bubble gumgumFlash memory is virtually noiselessFlash memory is virtually noiselessPower consumption is very minimal for Power consumption is very minimal for these types of devicesthese types of devicesFlash memory is very light weightFlash memory is very light weightDevices that use flash memory are plug Devices that use flash memory are plug and play to the new versions of Windowsand play to the new versions of WindowsDisadvantages of Disadvantages of Flash MemoryFlash MemoryThe size of the Flash memory cards The size of the Flash memory cards are more expensive than hard drivesare more expensive than hard drives–The most popular card size right now is The most popular card size right now is 1GB1GBAnd the price for that amount is approx. $100And the price for that amount is approx. $100In comparison, you can buy a 200GB hard In comparison, you can buy a 200GB hard drive for the same pricedrive for the same priceThis is the main reason that hard drives are This is the main reason that hard drives are used for mass storage in computers instead used for mass storage in computers instead of flash memoryof flash memoryOther Forms of Flash Other Forms of Flash MemoryMemoryMP3 Players use flash memory to MP3 Players use flash memory to store datastore dataMemory cards for video game Memory cards for video game consoles also use flash memory consoles also use flash memory to save game datato save game dataThe Future of Flash The Future of Flash MemoryMemoryFlash Memory will eventually replace normal Flash Memory will eventually replace normal hard drives within the next couple of yearshard drives within the next couple of yearsFlash Memory has faster read/write time than Flash Memory has faster read/write time than hard driveshard drivesThey are also less prone to failure than hard They are also less prone to failure than hard drivesdrivesThe cost will probably be the main concern for The cost will probably be the main concern for consumers because flash memory is more consumers because flash memory is more expensiveexpensiveHard drives are one of the slowest components Hard drives are one of the slowest components in PC’s now so if flash memory is used instead, in PC’s now so if flash memory is used instead, then computers will run even more seamlessly then computers will run even more seamlesslyConclusionConclusionFlash memory has opened the door to Flash memory has opened the door to mass storage for devices that previously mass storage for
