4 reasons to use industrial 3D TLC NAND flash as pseudo-SLC
TLC (triple-level cell) NAND flash has been making its way into industrial storage solutions for some years, thanks to its high storage density of three bits per cell. The ability to operate TLC in pseudo-single-level cell (pSLC) with one bit per cell, on the other hand, continues to carve out a niche existence.
