SanDisk iNAND memory module
Positioned as a substitute for hard drives and other types of embedded memory, SanDisk’s iNAND module is a high-capacity, high-performance single-package flash memory device with a built-in controller. Based on the leading industry-standard SD interface, the iNAND module also features SanDisk’s MLC (Multi-Level Cell) technology. Used for storing music, video, digital still images and other data, the module is designed especially for small portable systems such as mobile phones, digital audio/MP3 players, games and personal media players. Capacities range from 256 megabytes (MB) to 8 gigabytes.
Durable solid state NAND flash memory
“We’re delighted to receive a coveted ACE Award for iNAND,” said Yoram Cedar, SanDisk’s executive vice president of the Mobile Business Unit and Corporate Engineering. “It reflects the rapid transformation we are seeing among manufacturers to use durable solid state NAND flash memory for an ever growing array of mobile phones and consumer electronics.”
