From the small-scale power cycling and reset during controller debugging to the large-scale unforeseen shutdowns of power networks, every situation constantly tests the reliability of devices. High-end and complex control systems particularly highlight engineers’ attention to detail in their response mechanisms and protective measures against sudden power loss. NAND Flash/eMMC (NAND Flash with a Flash … Read more
According to reports from Electronic Enthusiasts (by Zhou Kaiyang), as SSDs enter the PCIe 4.0 era, their read speeds have exceeded 7GB/s.Many users prioritize speed when purchasing SSDs, understanding that larger capacities generally lead to faster speeds, and they often choose chips like MLC. However, the SSD controller chip is equally important.If we compare an … Read more
