Abstract :
A nonvolatile, rugged, sequentially accessed flash memory that provides an attractive solid-state alternative to disk drives is described. The advantages of the NAND EEPROM (electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory) for file storage, including mass memory storage, are discussed. Its reliability and cost-effectiveness are considered.<>
