Samsung Electronics has announced that it is now sampling 16Gb NAND flash memory manufactured on 50nm process technology. The first samples of will have a multi-level cell (MLC) design with a 4KB page size, with the company claiming that the jump to a 4KB page function improves the conventional 2KB paging system for MLC NAND flash to double the read speed, while increasing write performance 150%.

The company plans to begin mass-producing its 16Gb NAND flash memory in the first quarter of 2007. In September of 2006, Samsung also announced it has developed a 32Gb NAND flash device manufactured on 40nm node. The memory incorporated a charge trap flash (CTF) architecture, a new approach to further increase manufacturing efficiency while improving performance, according to the company.

Hell no! EEPROMs are Static Memory chips like BIOS chips. If you erase them, the whole memory chip gets erased! How can you delete files like that? :confused:

Anyway, read this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory
