What is SLC?

SLC stands for Single-Level Cell. It is a type of flash memory where each memory cell stores only one bit of information. This results in faster read/write speeds, higher endurance (longer lifespan), and lower power consumption compared to other flash memory types like MLC (Multi-Level Cell) and TLC (Triple-Level Cell). SLC is commonly used in applications that require high performance and reliability, such as enterprise storage, industrial applications, and some high-end embedded systems, even though it's more expensive per unit of storage.
