Which phenomenon causes a solid-state drive (SSD) to slow down during prolonged write operations?

💡 Explanation

During prolonged writes, increased electron injection occurs causing electron trapping in floating gate flash cells because of cell aging effects, leading to reduced program/erase cycle endurance and slower write speeds. Therefore, electron trapping results, rather than thermal expansion, charge accumulation or oxidation which don't directly affect sequential write performance.
