Comment on China is about to launch SSDs so small you insert them like a SIM card

It’s a little weird that wear leveling isn’t handled at the software level, given that you can surely pick free sectors randomly. Random access is nearly free. So is idle CPU time.

SSD still simulate HDD, because OS would need to adapt otherwise, lol.

Defragging wasn’t handled in hardware. The OS is free to frag it up.
