SSD controller

An SSD controller is the brain inside a solid-state drive that manages how data is stored and retrieved. It directs the flow of information between your computer and the memory chips, ensuring data is written correctly and efficiently. The controller handles tasks like organizing data, correcting errors, distributing wear evenly across memory cells to extend lifespan, and optimizing speed. Think of it as the traffic manager that keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes, enabling fast, reliable performance for your storage device.
