Comment on China is about to launch SSDs so small you insert them like a SIM card
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 months agoNo, Micro/SD-cards have a very simple controller (no wear leveling, trim) and thus need no heat spreader. This one would need one.

It’s a little weird that wear leveling isn’t handled at the software level, given that you can surely pick free sectors randomly. Random access is nearly free. So is idle CPU time.

SSD still simulate HDD, because OS would need to adapt otherwise, lol.

Defragging wasn’t handled in hardware. The OS is free to frag it up.

Yep, defragmenting still did help with NTFS even kn SSaD until MS made it a daemon in Windows 10.
