flash闪存（flash闪存） The English name of flash memory is Flash Memory, generally referred to as Flash, and it belongs to a memory device. However, the physical nature of flash memory is fundamentally different from common memory: At present, all kinds of DDR, SDRAM or RDRAM are volatile memory. As long as the current is stopped, the data in the memory can not be maintained, so every time the computer boot, the data need to be re loaded into memory; Flash is a non-volatile memory (Non-Volatile), in the absence of current supply conditions can also keep the data storage properties corresponding to the hard disk, it is this characteristic to become the basis of all kinds of flash storage medium portable digital devices. NAND flash memory cell with serial structure, storage unit is to read and write pages and blocks (one page contains a number of bytes, number of pages is composed of storage block, block size NAND 8 to 32KB), the main advantage is that the capacity can be large, more than 512MB capacity NAND products are quite common, NAND flash memory with low cost, and is conducive to large-scale popularization. The disadvantage of NAND flash memory is its slow reading speed. It has only 8 I/O ports, much less than NOR. This 8 I/O port can only deliver data in the form of a signal in turn, at a much slower rate than the parallel mode of NOR flash. Coupled with the NAND flash logic for the electronic disk module structure, there is no dedicated storage controller, once the data will fail to repair the bad block, the reliability of NOR flash memory is worse. NAND flash memory is widely used in mobile storage, digital cameras, MP3 players, handheld computers and other emerging digital devices. As a result of the strong development of digital equipment, NAND flash has been showing exponential growth at super speed NOR and NAND are the two major nonvolatile flash technologies on the market today. Intel first developed NOR flash technology in 1988, and completely changed the si
