Certainly the vendors of flash storage have no financial incentive to take

And I don't think there is need for that. In the last 20 years I had
only few cases where SD cards or SSDs stopped working properly. But I
never lost data, since this was always backup up or stored redundant on
multiple media or locations. So I don't have any use for flash storage
which lasts "forever".

I also never experienced any failure of internal flash storage in
smartphones or my smartwatch - and the smartwatch (Samsung Gear S3) is
now about 7 years in constant use and I use smartphones usually for at
least 5 years.

On the other hand: for an old "pocket" computer in my collection, a
Sharp PC-E500S [1] I got an FRAM module - this keep data "forever" (more
than 10 years of data retention time and 10^10 to 10^15 write cycles),
but this kind of storage is way too expensive for more than just a few
megabytes of memory.

  To avoid this kind of senseless non-discussions, I tend to call things
as they are normally called, not by their technology. AFAIC, using the
term "flash card"/"flash media" is outdated and ambiguous terminology.

  So SSD, (Micro)SD-card, USB memory-stick (not just USB stick, as there
are other type of USB sticks), etc.. If needed, add the capacity or/and
subtype (i.e. SD, SDHC, SDXC, SDUC). 'Problem' solved.

I was just not sure, if Carlo thinks, that SSD is not flash media but
something different - and that's the reason why it is called "solid
state disk" and not "flash media disk".

JFTR: In the past there were in fact SSDs based on RAM chips with
battery backup - for example the "memory cards" of some pocket computers
or programmable calculators.

But those were never called “solid state disks” though, where they.

Gigabyte iRAM.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-RAM

   "The i-RAM was a PCI card-mounted, battery-backed RAM disk that behaved
    and was marketed as a solid-state storage device."

Someone held a patent, which may have caused those to go away.

One other problem with those, is their SATA info (emulation of a SATA) was
a bit incomplete for some purposes. Someone took an Areca RAID card and plugged
those in, and the Areca did not find the metadata palatable enough for the job.
Maybe missing a serial number or something. Thus, hopes were dashed at the
time, of setting a benchmark record :-)

I expect there are unemployed engineers running some home-brew ones
of those in their basement. That is about as close as poor people
will get to owning one.

Correct - "solid state drive" and not "solid state disk". However this
is by definition a drive which does not have moving parts. If this is
achieved by using battery powered RAM or flash memory is not important
for that definition.

Also see:

I have. I've been working in the IT business since the late 1980ies and
used RAM based solid-state drives as well (yes, the ones for PCs and
servers as well not just battery backed memory cards for pocket computers).

Did you at least read what I linked to?

<https://www.techtarget.com/searchstorage/definition/RAM-based-solid-state-drive-SSD>

But as I said... everybody is free to ignore the real world.

Correct. But core memory is not intended as *persistent* memory, even
when it can be used this way.

  More to the point, the - 'conveniently', silently snipped - context
was "solid state drive", i.e. mass storage, not a computer's working
storage, so core memory is not relevant

  But yes, I have used core memory, all whopping 8-64KB of them (and
even less if you count the (programmable) 'calculators' of the late
60s).

It was indeed regularly used that way. Consider that, on machines from the 
core memory era, there was no “boot ROM”. The first-stage bootloader was 
typically around a dozen machine instructions or so, which had to be hand-
entered using front-panel switches. (No doubt seasoned operators had this 
memorized.) It was handy that this could be preserved across power cycles, 
assuming it didn’t get overwritten by some wayward buggy program.

Then there were applications that ran without an OS as such. For example, 
on the PDP-8, you could load a BASIC interpreter. This would take about 20 
minutes to load off paper tape. So the fact that a power cycle did not 
wipe memory was helpful if you had a lot of BASIC programs to run.

Neither term was used back then. I certainly didn’t use them in this 
context.

Well, this is not exactly reflecting the situation "back then".
(And I also don't think we should focus on terms[*] if we discuss
technology.)

If you read old books about storage technology you find that these
characteristics are described; e.g. the direct addressing property
(RAM, random access memory), or the property to store practically
unlimited amounts of information (mass storage). There were also
other properties of storage memory described and all storage types
with their properties were seen in a much wider and differentiated
context.

There's no "intention"; persistence is just a _property_ of various
storage technologies (including ferrite-core memory).

Janis

[*] Terms like the shortcut "RAM" (for example) is not the essential
thing. It's the storages' properties; "back then" they considered
these properties less on a buzz-word-abbreviated-marketing-level but
more based on concrete physical properties. That's what I perceived
(hereabouts) and what can be read in old books[**] about it. (YMMV.)

[**] For the interested people, see for example:
Karl Steinbuch, "Taschenbuch der Nachrichtenverarbeitung", 2. Auflage,
Springer Verlag, Berlin/Heidelberg/New York, 1967 - on pages 475-603.

It does not matter, if you use that term. I talk about the real world
usage. And core memory is not *intended* to be non volatile storage,
even if it is technically possible to keep information without powering
the memory.
