SLC flash has several advantages over MLC and even TLC flash. SLC or Single Level Cell can endure more write cycles, offers more bandwidth and less latency when compared to lesser flash technologies. The down side is SLC costs more than MLC, between 2x and 5x as much to be more specific according on one of our sources. Just weeks ago we published a review of the SuperSSpeed Gold Hyper SLC 120GB SSD, a consumer drive that uses Intel 25nm SLC flash. Other than a few enterprise SSDs and a very small number of thumb drives, SLC all but disappeared in the types of products we review. Things are starting to change though and SLC is making a comeback.
