Rarely used in consumer SSDs due to cost. * MLC (Multi-Level Cell): Stores two bits per cell, providing a good balance between performance, endurance, and cost. Becoming less common due to the rise of TLC and QLC. * TLC (Triple-Level Cell): Stores three bits per cell, offering higher capacities at a lower cost per gigabyte compared to MLC. Performance and endurance are slightly lower than MLC. * QLC (Quad-Level Cell): Stores four bits per cell, resulting in the highest capacities and the most affordable option per gigabyte. However, it has the slowest performance and lowest endurance among these options. Choosing the Right NAND Flash: Here are some key factors to consider when choosing between SLC, TLC, MLC, and QLC: Budget: QLC is the most affordable option, then TLC, and MLC is typically the most expensive. Storage Capacity: QLC offers the highest capacities, followed by TLC and MLC. Performance: SLC and MLC offer the fastest performance, followed by TLC, and QLC is the slowest. Endurance (Lifespan): SLC has the highest endurance, followed by MLC and TLC. QLC has the lowest endurance.\\ Workload:\\ Light Use: Browsing, email, basic tasks - TLC or QLC might suffice.\\ Moderate Use: Gaming, moderate file transfers - TLC is a good balance.\\ Heavy Use: Video editing, professional workloads - MLC or SLC (if budget allows) are ideal.
