SanDisk iNAND 64 GB chips for mobile

The storage area is not immune to the Mobile World Congress. Since time is mobility, SanDisk announced the availability of a new flash memory module embedded iNAND 64 GB Specialist flash memory and aligned on the giants of the semiconductor Samsung and Toshiba, which had announced the preparation of similar products earlier this year.

These chips have the distinction of hosting 3 bits per cell, thus failing to improve performance, increase the density for the benefit of electricity consumption. With measurements of 16x20x1, 4 mm, the module has a footprint very similar to those of the competition.

SanDisk also states that one of these modules can store the entire operating system of a mobile phone or mobile device, the boot sector to the personal data via the system itself. By not spreading them out across several chips, these modules offer an additional way to save space and energy.

These modules 4 and 64 GB are now available to manufacturers and should soon lead to new capabilities to mobile devices and enhanced autonomy.
