become increasingly functional, sleek
and exible in design support.
Design in More Embedded Flash Drives
The SanDisk family of eld-proven
high-capacity EFDs delivers high per-
formance, reliability and low power
consumption to advanced multimedia
handsets. Count on SanDisk ad-
vanced, MLC NAND ash technology
for cost-effective data and code storage. Depend on
our internal ash controller and embedded rmware
to make storage more reliable and ease the transi-
tion to new ash technologies.
SanDisk ash management software
is embedded inside SanDisk EFDs,
enabling them to emulate a standard
hard disk drive and serve as a boot
device, while ensuring MLC NAND
reliability. Robust ash error detection
and correction, automated bad block management
and advanced wear-leveling algorithms deliver de-
vice reliability, endurance and data retention.
The SanDisk family of EFDs comes in
a range of capacities and congura-
tions, including high-capacity, discrete
MLC NAND ash and multi-chip pack-
ages (MCPs) with low-power DRAM
and single-level cell (SLC) NAND ash.
They support seamless migration to future designs,
and scalable storage of up to 16GB.
* 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1 billion bytes; 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes; speed based on internal testing; performance may be
lower depending on host device. Some capacity not available for data storage.
