Q. Which is a type of Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory?
Solution:
- Flash is used for MP3 players, computer BIOS code and "thumb" drives.
- Flash devices have a limited number of erase cycles (typically 10,000 to 1,000,000 cycles) so they’re not as good a choice for applications in which the data changes constantly.
- However, since it has no moving parts (unlike a hard disk) it is an excellent choice for storing the operating code for small personal electronics like PDAs, cell phones, digital cameras, and the data in items like MP3 players.
