Berman:

   SSD fundamentals

Abstract

Modern NAND Flash-based Solid-State Drives (SSD) presents low latency, high
throughput, low power consumption and solid-state reliability improvements
comparing to traditional magnetic-disk based Hard Disk Drives (HDD). In this
talk, I will review solid-state drive technology, including introduction to
flash memory structure and operating principles, storage of multiple bits
per cell, endurance and retention characteristics, approaches for high
performance as well as power conserving write/read/erase policies, wear
leveling, write amplification, file systems for solid-state non-volatile
memory, concepts of interconnections and I/O communication protocols.
