SanDisk claims smallest ever 128-gigabit flash chip

SanDisk claims smallest ever 128-gigabit flash chip

Posted on Feb 23, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: SanDisk

SanDisk's NAND flash lineup may have set a record Wednesday after the company claimed to have the world's smallest 128-gigabit (16GB) memory chip. The 19 nanometer, three-bit-per-cell storage has a footprint of about 170mm square (0.26in square), or less than that of a penny. It's also relatively quick for its capacity and size at 144Mbps (18MB) per second.
Chips built on the newer storage were considered ideal for smartphones, tablets, and solid-state drives for computers. Many such chips can be stacked on top of each other or side-by-side and give more reasonable capacities without having a physically larger device than they do now.

SanDisk is hauling its consumer SSD range into the SATAIII era, offering a pair of Extreme branded drives that deliver performance broadly on-par with other 6Gbps rivals. The 120GB and 240GB variants are available now priced at $190 and $400, while a 480GB version will ship "later this year" with a $750 asking price. Random reads / writes are claimed to reach 83,000 / 44,000 IOPS, with 550MB/s and 520MB/s sequential speeds. The PR after the break also mentions a new X100 OEM drive for PC manufacturers, just any of them happen to read it.

SanDisk announces world's fastest, most expensive 128GB SDXC Card

SanDisk announces world's fastest, most expensive 128GB SDXC Card

Posted on Jan 11, 2012 by MG2

Filed in: SanDisk

SD card specs seem to change more often than the those of the cameras they go into. The king of the SDXC format this week is SanDisk with its just-released 64 and 128GB SDXC cards; the 128GB card is the world's fastest with 45MB/s read and write speeds. If you decide you need SanDisk's brand of ultra high-speed data transfer in your life, you can plan on paying $199.99 for the 64GB card or a whopping $399.99 for the 128GB version. It would seem unlikely that someone using SD would be speed-critical enough to drop this kind of money on a card, but SanDisk is marketing it to 3D video shooters, who have much larger file sizes to deal with. To the truly awesome SD card users out there — we salut...

SanDisk unveils 'world's fastest' 128GB SDXC card and new iNAND Ultra embeddable flash storage

SanDisk unveils 'world's fastest' 128GB SDXC card and new iNAND Ultra embeddable flash storage

Posted on Jan 11, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: SanDisk

There's no time better to announce new storage cards than at CES -- there's just so many new toys to plug them into. SanDisk's new SDXC card is available in both 64GB and 128GB sizes, with the latter capable of packing in around 10 hours of HD 3D video. Both cards will boast read speeds of around 45 megabytes per second -- the 'world's fastest', we're told, but that could be a heady claim during the high-speed turnaround of CES. No date's been offered up yet for when they'll hit stores, but when they do, expect the 128GB beast to set you back a feisty $400, while the 64GB card will ask your wallet for $200.
Meanwhile, fans of the embeddable kind can expect to see iNAND Ultra make itself know...

SanDisk launches 64GB microSD card

SanDisk launches 64GB microSD card

Posted on Sep 21, 2011 by MG1

SanDisk has announced a massive upgrade to its microSD line-up, with the arrival of the SanDisk Mobile Ultra 64GB microSDXC card.
SanDisk isn't the first to announce this type of capacity in the microSD format – Kingmax earns that crown – but it will be the first to market for a whopping $219.99 (£139).
Thanks for the memory
The new cards use the SDXC format which was only announced back in 2009.
Because of this, there are little-to-no phone manufacturers that have come out to say their handsets support the format – most are compatible with the less capacious SDHC variant.
Given that SDXC can potentially hold up to 2TB of data and it is seen as the future for microSD, however, we should see ...

SanDisk recently announced the availability of a 64GB microSDXC card.
