"Flash drives" use a technology that has a large but limited number of erase/write operations before it starts to fail. The memory in flash drives is commonly engineered with multi-level cell (MLC) based memory that is good for around 3,000-5,000 program-erase cycles, but some flash drives have single-level cell (SLC) based memory that is good for around 100,000 writes. RAM writes and erases hundreds or thousands of times a second in certain areas. You do not want the RAM in your computer to fail that quickly.

What are the types of flashing?

Flash memory is a term used for solid state devices. They are called solid state because they have no moving parts and the data is "flashed" to the device. Mobile phones use flash memory, USB storage devices or even large mass storage devices can be bought as solid state.

Which is the most common type of storage device?

The most common type of storage device is the hard disk drive (HDD), widely used in computers and external storage solutions due to its large capacity and cost-effectiveness. Solid-state drives (SSDs) are increasingly popular for their faster performance and durability, though they tend to be more expensive per gigabyte. Additionally, USB flash drives are common for portable storage needs. Overall, HDDs remain the most prevalent for general storage purposes.
