How does NAND Flash Work? Reading from TLC : Triple Level Cells || Exploring Solid State Drives

You can hold all the data in the American Library of Congress AND all the data from Wikipedia on a small stack of solid-state drives especially considering a single SSD's capacity can reach up to 30 TB of data. In this video, we'll explore how tens of terabytes can be crammed into such a small space. This technology is called 3D NAND, and specifically, we'll explore the physics and concepts on how 3 bits of information can be written to and read from individual cells.

[Quantum_Dots]

This channel should be part of engineering course

[scnt]

The simplicity with how this channel explains some of the most complicated topics of modern technology and still manages to leave nothing untold is astonishing. I was about to ask exactly how electrons are stored in the charge trap and immidiatly after the video points me toward the answer. This serie is a true work of art. Thanks for sharing.

[Psychopatz]

Omg, I didn't even know 30 terabyte capacity SSD already existed.

What a time to be alive!

[BrunoCosta-euty]

I studied electronic engineering my whole life, and I have never seen such an incredible demonstration ... congratulations for the work done on this channel

[avisekhghosh]

Never been this early, I am proud to be studying electronics. I learnt more in these 13 minutes compared to all my cumulative study of a week. Full patreon support to this channel when I get my job!!!

[ClassierAunt]

Dude you destroyed my 4 years of college in just a single video.

[ThermalWorld_]

This is the most detailed and most illustrated explanation ever.
Thank you for the wonderful work you have done to explain everything in a simple and illustrative way

[lucasala]

Probably the best educational channel on electronics, engineering and technology. Keep it up!

[OiVinn-eqml]

I learn more in this one video than my entire electronics engineering course

[MentalEdge]

This also makes it very intuitive to understand why QLC, TLC and MLC can't physically be as fast as SLC.

[funpfunkafunda]

The way this channel explained all the concepts are fabulous..this is the way colleges should teach.

[Sidiann]

I love this channel so much. Everytime an explanation brings up a new question, it is answerd right after. This type of teaching is extremely impressive.

[mikeyburbol]

Man this is some the hands down best explanations I have ever seen

[fzigunov]

I'm so glad you got sponsored, this is a great recognition of your awesome work!

[Gosu]

I was always wondering how TLC flash works and what that means exactly. Really glad Youtube recommended me this channel.

[nanayawsampong]

I am really grateful for being in this timeline, People who understand the complexity would agree

[ktvx.]

First time I don't skip an ad within the video. Great job at making your sponsor actually relevant

[akashkumarmahtoprotech]

I am waiting for the video for a long time, thank you so much BRANCH EDUCATION to provinding us a amazing concept through 3d animation .
LOVE YOU

[DM]

One of the most underrated channels on youtube. 300k views only? That's very unfair

[deadlyshot]

thank you for this video, amazing to have someone doing this, most ppl just care about performance but some of us want to know in which way it achieves performance
