    Where does NAND flash memory derive its name from?

    • The way the board is designed

    • The way the memory cells are organized

    • The way the USB connector is connected to the chip

    Correct Answer
    A. The way the memory cells are organized
    Explanation
    NAND flash memory derives its name from the way the memory cells are organized. NAND flash memory uses a type of non-volatile memory technology that is organized in a grid-like structure. This structure allows for efficient storage and retrieval of data, making NAND flash memory a popular choice for a wide range of electronic devices, such as USB drives, solid-state drives, and memory cards. The name "NAND" stands for "NOT AND," which refers to the logic gates used in the memory cells to store and retrieve data.

    'Volatile' refers to temporary. The flash memory is volatile.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "The flash memory is volatile" is incorrect. Volatile refers to something that is temporary and can be easily lost or changed. Flash memory, on the other hand, is a type of non-volatile memory that retains its data even when the power is turned off. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Our data is stored on the Control Gate.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Our data is stored on the Control Gate" is incorrect. The Control Gate is not a storage location for data, but rather a component that controls the flow of data within a system. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    The NAND flash memory drive can "endure" only 10,000 erasures/reprogramming.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    NAND flash memory drives have a limited lifespan in terms of erasures and reprogramming. They can endure far more than just 10,000 erasures/reprogramming cycles. Therefore, the given statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What are the two gates in the NAND flash drive?

    • Floating Gate

    • Spinning Gate

    • Power Gate

    • Control Gate

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Floating Gate
    A. Control Gate
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Floating Gate and Control Gate. In a NAND flash drive, the floating gate is responsible for storing the electrical charge that represents the data. The control gate, on the other hand, controls the flow of electrons in and out of the floating gate, allowing for the reading and writing of data. Both gates play crucial roles in the operation of a NAND flash drive.
