What is NAND flash?
NAND flash is non-volatile memory that keeps data without power. It is used in solid-state drives, smartphones and memory cards.
Why it matters for investors
Like DRAM, NAND flash is sold in a cyclical market where prices depend on the balance of supply and demand. Producers add capacity by stacking more layers of memory cells vertically.
Data center demand for solid-state storage, including for AI workloads, has become an important driver alongside phones and PCs.
