NAND flash is a type of non-volatile memory able to retain data without power, unlike DRAM which is a volatile form of memory. NAND is all around us, in our PCs, smartphones, tablets, etc. In the past few years, as cost continue to come down, the rise of NAND has been seen with the shift to solid-state drives (SSDs), which are costlier than HDDs but offers significantly better storage performance. NAND has also been increasingly popular in data servers, the higher storage performance makes it suitable to handle the explosive growth in
