SLC vs MLC vs TLC

Выбор карты памяти для регистратора.

Купил тут я значит новый видеорег для авто - BlackVue DR650S-2CH. Уж очень мне они нравятся во всём. Да и уже 3 раза в авариях меня выручали, старый давно уже окупился :-)
Брал на еБае за $360 с доставкой из Америки, при получении таможня содрала ещё 110 шек.

В общем, заморочился выбором карты памяти правильной. Оказывается есть неправильные! Это я раньше знал, но как-то думал, что я всегда правильные покупал. Оказалось, нет :-)

Вначале немного теории на английском, потом я резюмирую ниже.
• SLC - Single level cell provides high performance, low power consumption; faster write speeds, and higher program/erase cycles per cell, but at a higher cost. These devices are mainly used in high end server applications.
• MLC - Multi level cell provides a lower cost than SLC; however, MLC has a lower endurance limit and lower program/erase cycles than SLC, and is a good fit for commercial/workstations platforms and applications.
• TLC - Three level cell provides higher density, but has lower endurance limits, slower write read speeds, and lower program/erase cycles than SLC and MLC. To this point, TLC NAND has been used primarily in flash devices; however, technological advancements are making TLC an option for normal applications.
NAND cell technology
A single NAND flash die is typically subdivided into 512 MB blocks, and each block is typically subdivided into 4 KB pages. You can read and write to individual pages as long as they are empty; however, once a page is written, it can’t be overwritten - it must be erased first before it can be written to again. This sequence of writing, erasing, and then writing again is known as the Program/Erase cycle. The P/E cycle can serve as a criterion for quantifying the endurance of a flash storage device.
 Physically, all three NAND technologies consist of similar transistors; the only difference is that they store different amounts of charge. All three work similarily, applying voltage to a cell to go from an “off” state to an “on” state. SLC uses two distinct voltage states representing one bit per cell and two logic levels (0 and 1). MLC uses four distinct voltage states representing four logic states (00, 01, 10, 11) or two bits. TLC uses eight distinct voltage states representing eight logic states (000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, and 111), or three bits.

Резюмирую.

  1. SLC - cамые надёжные (до 100К циклов перезаписи ячейки), нереально дорогие и обычно доступны на небольшие объёмы. Используются в важных устройствах, где надёжность главное.
  2. MLC - менее надёжны (до 3-5К циклов), используются в менее важных устройствах.
  3. TLS - самые не надёжные (до 1К циклов), самые дешёвые - продаются во всех магазинах для рядовых пользователей. 
Вот список, который я составил по разным источникам.
В Израиле проверил несколько компьютерных магазинов, не нашёл MLC вообще. На еБае и Амазоне ещё есть MLC варианты с доставкой, ищите по кодам.

Samsung Travel Adapter fakes

Wanted to buy original Samsung Travel Adapter with current rate 2A.
It turns out that is not so simple... because most of them are fakes on market even if sold as super original.

Andvanced reading

A dozen USB chargers in the lab
Tiny, cheap, and dangerous: Inside a (fake) iPhone charger

One I've ordered via Groupon.
Seller was some local site buy2: Genuine Samsung Charger, proposal was like on this page - http://www.buy2.co.il/o/7cf4afaf-1671-448c-a655-e8aefd5c9b68
I paid 59 NIS and wet to pickup it from Hertzliya.
When I came to the shop, I told that it looks like fake adapter: letters jumping. At home I've checked idle voltage, it was above 5.3V. So I've opened a case at PayPal (as I paid with them). Time passed, no answer from seller, PayPal returned me my money.





The second I bought from eBay, seller neq-trade from Germany. Listing not more exist after I opened a case for fraud item. ~57 NIS with postal delivery.

Look closely to the following pictures


On second picture you can see wry USB port.
And highlights from first one

Waiting for an answer from seller.
UPDATE (2014-07-26)
Seller send another picture of adapters he sell, that are also fakes because of wrong text on them.
END OF UPDATE (2014-07-26)

UPDATE (2014-08...)
Seller refused to admit that it was fake and I escalated the case to eBay review.
They did full refund on behalf of seller :-)

Now, let's look how original label should look like.

1. From Samsung shop in Netanya's Poleg mall, ignore model difference. Costs ~130 NIS (with cable).



2. From Bug electronics shop. Sells in original Samsung packaging, cost 89 NIS.
Perfect text alignment!


Update (2015-04-25)
One of fake adapters few days ago stopped working.
Let's openup!

Board connects to mains with this contacts.

That is already rusty!

Very simple design. Main components:
Top left - fuse 250V 2A
Caps looks good, holds capacity. Thanks that its rated to 105C, surprised :-)
DB1 - MB6F - diode bridge - tested, good
IC1 - DK112 - controller
IC2 - CDT817C - optocoupler
T1 - Transformator
D1 - RS1M - diode - tested, good
D2 - SS54 - schottky diode - shorted! need to replace, ordered on eBay


Typical application for DK112 (but 12V 1A power supply).

Some original boards I found on net below.


Left - original, Right - fake

Samsung Galaxy S2

So that finally happened. I got new Samsung Galaxy S II.
The Galaxy feels not complete without a good case.
The best case so far is Case-Mate Tough that I got from MyLaptop.co.il home held store in Ra'anana for 189 NIS with free Momax screen protector PSPCSAI9100 (made in Japan) that by itself worth 40 NIS.

Now, some useful information.

factory reset only delete the account, system and setting application.
