flashmuistiin

Flashmuistiin is a Finnish term that translates to "flash memory" in English. It refers to a type of non-volatile computer memory that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. Unlike RAM, flash memory retains its data even when the power is turned off, making it ideal for storage applications. There are two main types of flash memory: NOR flash and NAND flash, which differ in their internal structure and performance characteristics. NOR flash offers faster random access times, making it suitable for code execution, while NAND flash provides higher density and faster sequential read/write speeds, which is preferred for data storage. Flash memory is widely used in various electronic devices, including USB drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), memory cards for cameras and smartphones, and embedded systems. Its compact size, durability, and energy efficiency have made it a cornerstone of modern portable electronics and data storage solutions. The technology has evolved significantly over the years, leading to increased capacities, faster speeds, and improved endurance.
