Korean researchers discovered a vulnerability in solid-state drives that enables malware to infect an SSD's empty over-provisioning partition directly. This enables the malware to be practically ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Computex 2012 - Patriot had Wildfire Pro back on display at Computex 2012. This time we saw a working model, unlike at CES where a mock up was on display.

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Solid-state drives contain more NAND than is required to meet the listed capacity on the box. The reasoning for this is that the controller requires some ...

The over-provisioning of NAND flash memory in solid state drives (SSDs) and flash memory-based accelerator cards (cache) is a required practice in the storage ...

LSI has confirmed that it is finally allowing its solid-state controller customers to disable the extra over-provisioning normally associated with its SandForce parts in order to boost storage ...

When an SSD is developed it will consist of standard memory chips. They come in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities. However, many Sandforce powered drives up until now typically use some of that storage ...

I've been doing some research on manual over-provisioning of SSD's and the attendant performance increases and reductions in write amplification that the procedure can provide, and was wondering if ...
