How Did NAND Memory Impact the ASUS Transformer TF300?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the impact of NAND memory on the performance of the ASUS Transformer TF300 tablet, particularly in relation to its slow performance over time and the introduction of the TRIM operation in Android 4.3. Participants explore the implications of memory technology in current devices and its relevance to advanced computer architecture.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant shares their experience with the ASUS Transformer TF300, noting that the NAND memory used in the device became slow over time, which they attribute to it being new and not well tested.
  • The same participant mentions the introduction of the TRIM operation in Android 4.3, which is designed to clean the memory when the tablet is not in use, but points out that ASUS did not release this update for their device.
  • Another participant suggests focusing on advances in quantum computing as a potential topic for a research report, indicating a broader interest in current technology trends.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on the implications of NAND memory in the ASUS Transformer TF300, as the discussion includes both personal experiences and suggestions for broader topics without resolving the specific technical issues raised.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations regarding the testing and performance of NAND memory in early devices, as well as the dependency on software updates for performance improvements. There are unresolved technical details concerning the effectiveness of the TRIM operation in relation to the TF300.

Who May Find This Useful

Hi. I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I had a feeling that many of you might have some ideas on this. I have to write a research report on Advanced Computer Architecture. It can be about pipelining, branch prediction, memory or whatever. I want something really interesting and I have to be able to relate it with current technology today. For exam a distinct memory design for a new Dell processor or something like that. I'd appreciate any ideas because I'm not able to brainstorm much on it.

Welcome back! :D

I would likely focus on the current advances being made in the field of quantum computing:

Thanks unc :D
 
Several years ago I bought an ASUS Transformer TF300 tablet. It turned out to be OK except for one major flaw. If I understand correctly, it had NAND memory, which apparently was new and not well tested at the time. It turned out that it becomes slow over time to a point of a crawl. Therefore, something called TRIM operation was added to Android 4.3. It cleans the memory when the tablet is not in use. Unfortunately for me, ASUS never released Android 4.3 update for TF300. I think the technical details of this would be quite interesting.
