A review and evaluation of solid-state drives in information retrieval

In this paper I tried to describe a forensic research of an emerging technology NAND-based flash memory data storage called Solid State Drive (SSD). It starts with explaining the existing theory in computer forensics digital evidence and their reliability along with the challenges in computer forensics and a detailed background of NAND based flash memory, which helps in conducting data recovery brief explanation of NAND-flash cell, structure of SSD, architecture of SSD and Evolving NAND flash-based SSDs tend to get denser and faster, and these are quickly becoming popular in a wide variety of applications. Flash-based SSDs are composed of dozens of non-volatile flash memories with multichannel and multiway architecture. Among many roles of FTL, mapping management is main key of SSD performance
