Detailed Translations for flash memory from English to German

flash memory:

flash memory [the ~] nomen

  1. the flash memory
    – A type of nonvolatile memory that is similar to EEPROM memory in function although it must be erased in blocks, whereas EEPROM can be erased one byte at a time. Because of its block-oriented nature, flash memory is commonly used as a supplement to or replacement for hard disks in portable computers. In this context, flash memory either is built into the unit or, more commonly, is available as a PC Card that can be plugged into a PCMCIA slot. A disadvantage of the block-oriented nature of flash memory is that it cannot be practically used as main memory (RAM) because a computer needs to be able to write to memory in single-byte increments. 1
