- Blunk Microsystems' embedded flash file system, TargetFFS, offers a rugged alternative to mechanical storage systems. Designed for either the NOR (TargetFFS-NOR™) or NAND (TargetFFS-NAND™) flash memory, TargetFFS implements a reliable, re-entrant file system with a POSIX and ANSI C compliant application program interface.
Designed
around a revolutionary silicon-based storage architecture known as
ioMemory, the ioDrive is the world’s most advanced NAND clustering
technology with performance comparable to DRAM and storage capacity on
par with today's hard disks — giving you the power to improve both
memory capacity and storage performance by up to one thousand times.
The ioDrive dramatically increases performance such that every server
can easily contain the I/O performance of the world's fastest
enterprise SAN.
- All the Benefits of Flash in a Cost-Effective PATA Module
SanDisk
has expanded its flash-based solid state drive (SSD) product family to
meet the demands of the new netbook market of ultra low cost PCs
(ULCPCs) for easy web surfing and wireless communication. SanDisk pSSD
solid state drive delivers all the benefits of flash to these small
computing netbooks at a fraction of the cost, size and weight of the
hard disk drive (HDD).
Designing digital storage into consumer electronics is crucial to
the performance and cost of these devices. However, as our requirements
for digital content storage grow, so does the formidable difficulty of
implementing design solutions that are rugged, long-lasting,
power-miserly, secure, network-accessible, and can still fit in the
palm of your hand!
This book provides the background necessary to understand common digital storage devices and media. It helps readers decide which methods of storage work best for which kinds of devices, and then teaches designers how to successfully integrate them into consumer products.

Intel pushes the boundaries of innovation so our work can make people's lives more exciting, fulfilling, and manageable. And our work never stops. We never stop looking for the next leap ahead—in technology, education, culture, manufacturing, and social responsibility. And we never stop striving to deliver solutions with greater benefits for everyone.
SAMSUNG's Semiconductor Business was founded in Korea with the acquisition of Hankook Semiconductor in 1974. Early operations consisted mostly of the development and mass production of ICs and peripherals for such consumer electronics products as electronic and analogue watches, televisions, audios and microwave ovens. The main turning point in SAMSUNG's evolution into a leading semiconductor manufacturer was the successful development of the 64Kb DRAM in 1983, and the subsequent opening of the Giheung Semiconductor Complex and SAMSUNG first's fabrication facility in 1984. In 1991, SAMSUNG's LCD business operations were joined with its Semiconductor Business.
Spansion is the largest company exclusively focused on Flash memory solutions. Flash memory can be found in nearly every electronic device- in cell phones, cars, printers, networking equipment, set-top boxes, high-definition TVs, games and other consumer electronics. As people continue to demand more multimedia content in their homes, at work and on the go, and as electronic products become increasingly complex, the amount of Flash memory in electronic devices will continue to grow.
With a primary focus on the integrated Flash memory market, our solutions are incorporated into electronic products from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), including the top ten handset, consumer electronics and automotive OEMs around the world.
The FlashPoint platform solution from Denali Software provides an interface between NAND flash and PCI Express (PCIe). Many designers may wonder why something like interfacing to NAND flash would need a platform solution. From an operating-system perspective, more work is expected of NAND these days.

Back when I worked for Waferscale Integration, which was later
purchased by STMicroelectronics, the CEO Mike Callahan allegedly said
something that he likely hoped everyone would later forget. You see, he
was originally against using flash memory in what would later become the company's Programmable System
Device SoCs because he felt the technology was never going to
make it. Well, as the story goes, some people whom have since gone on to such prominent Flash companies as SanDisk, apparently convinced him otherwise.
I think it's quite safe to say they made the correct decision as Flash has indeed "made it" many times over. Last year, according to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the worldwide Flash market exceeded the $22 Billion mark. Ah how CEO hindsight can always seem to be traced back to Foot in Mouth Disease.
