Power and performance characteristics of USB flash drives
Even though their capacities are still orders of magnitude lower than those of hard disks, flash storage systems are rapidly gaining importance in energy-constrained systems. This paper focuses on USB flash drives, which can provide portable storage to mobile systems or storage to systems that otherwise do not have persistent storage opportunities (e.g., low-power sensor devices). The paper presents studies relating to power consumption, energy overheads and benefits, and performance impacts of USB flash drives. The key insights obtained from these experiments are that (i) read/write costs are not significantly greater than idle costs and (ii) the size of the flash itself has only limited bearing on energy consumption.
