NAND Flash Memory

NAND Flash memory is a type of non-volatile storage that retains data even when the power is off, commonly used in SSDs, smartphones, and memory cards. It stores information using floating-gate transistors, where data is represented as electrical charges. The "NAND" structure refers to how these transistors are connected, allowing for high storage density and fast data access. It offers advantages like durability, compact size, and low power consumption, making it ideal for modern electronic devices. However, it has a finite number of write/erase cycles, which can affect longevity over time.
