Wear Leveling
Silent guardians of your data: how wear leveling prevents flash memory failure
4 days ago
0
Why is wear leveling essential for flash memory devices like SSDs?
It evenly distributes write and erase cycles to prevent premature cell degradation.
It increases the speed of data transfer by compressing data.
It reduces power consumption by turning off unused memory cells.

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark Tool
Benchmarking tools expose the hidden speed wars between SSDs and hard drives
8 days ago
0
Why does CrystalDiskMark often show SSDs outperforming hard drives in random IO tests?
Because hard drives have faster spinning disks that improve random access speed.
Because CrystalDiskMark only tests sequential read/write speeds, which favor SSDs.
Because SSDs do not require mechanical seeking, allowing faster access to random data locations.
