Infographic: Pseudo-SLC Flash Primer Pros & Cons

The use of pseudo-SLC is a growing trend because it uses a multibit architecture to deliver single-bit storage, providing a device that incorporates benefits from both worlds.

The enterprise storage market is brimming with flash drives that come in a variety of shapes and sizes, yet organizations might still lack the storage they need for specific uses. This can be especially true when trying to fill the niche between single-level cell flash, which holds one data bit per memory cell, and chips that squeeze in multiple bits per cell, such as triple-level cell (TLC) flash.

SSDs with SLC flash offer better performance, endurance and reliability than their multibit counterparts. In contrast, multibit storage provides greater densities at a lower cost per gigabyte than SLC storage. Choosing between the two often means sacrificing one set of benefits for another. That's where pseudo-SLC comes in.
