Applications of NAND flash memory have now grown much beyond its original design goals. For instance, Intel Turbo Memory uses flash memory as the cache of hard disks and Microsoft's ReadyBoost uses flash memory to accelerate booting of Windows Vista. These developments challenge the reliability and endurance of flash memory. The reliability problem becomes even more challenging, especially when low-cost flash-memory designs gain momentum in the market.

  • Applications of NAND flash memory have now grown much beyond its original design goals. For instance, Intel Turbo Memory uses flash memory as the cache of hard disks and Microsoft's ReadyBoost uses flash memory to accelerate booting of Windows Vista. These developments challenge the reliability and endurance of flash memory. The reliability problem becomes even more challenging, especially when low-cost flash-memory designs gain momentum in the market. For example, the endurance of a block of MLC flash memory is only 10,000 erase counts or even lower, compared to the 100,000 erase counts of SLC flash memory. Static wear leveling helps maintain crucial reliability while limiting impacts on performance and cost.
