SSD: What SLC, MLC, TLC, and QLC Mean youtu.be/At4qMpAMFew NAND flash stores information using electrical charge states that influence a memory cell’s threshold voltage. Different designs distinguish different numbers of states. SLC stores one bit per cell, requiring two states. In common SSD terminology, MLC means two bits per cell and four states. TLC stores three bits using eight states. QLC stores four bits using sixteen states.

How PCI Express and NVMe Work Together youtube.com/watch?v=1VmD9wD2… PCI Express, usually shortened to PCIe, is a high-speed connection used by several types of computer hardware. Graphics cards, network adapters, and many SSDs communicate through PCIe links. A PCIe link has a generation and a lane count. A specification such as PCIe 4.0 x4 describes both: generation four, using four lanes. The available connection bandwidth depends on these characteristics. NVMe provides the storage communication model used by modern PCIe SSDs in ordinary PCs. It defines how software submits storage commands and receives completion information. Its queue structure allows the system to manage many outstanding requests efficiently.
