Flash memory is a kind of computer storage media that is also non-volatile in nature. It consists of a number of memory cells where the information is stored. Usually, in each cell just one bit of data is stored. But newer flash memories are available that are capable of storing more than one bit of information.
There are various types of flash memories with different capacity and transfer rates.
Flash memory is reliable for data storage in various electronic devices such as computers, printers, game consoles and digital cameras. BIOS chips in motherboards, Compact Flash, Smart Media and Memory Stick for digital cameras and different memory cards for game consoles use flash memory. Nowadays, flash memory is also known as solid state storage device that is used in a similar way we use a hard drive.
