The fastest-growing non-volatile type of memory, NAND Flash is widely used in popular devices, from cellphones and media players to navigation systems. Samsung is the world leader, continually reducing NAND Flash costs while increasing densities. Samsung produces NAND Flash SLC and MLC components for consumer devices, removable memory cards and is moving NAND into computer storage applications.
Samsung's revolutionary, award-winning, all-flash Solid State Drive offers many advantages over traditional storage. It has lower power consumption, remarkable ruggedness, high reliability, less weight and outstanding performance. Since the SSD has no moving parts like motors, disks and heads, it eliminates spin-up time, seek time and rotational latency while delivering sustained high-speed data transfers.
This innovative Samsung fusion memory chip features high-density NAND Flash with a NOR interface. It meets the memory-hungry needs of advanced mobile devices at attractive price points, delivering the lowest cost-per-bit flash storage at the highest performance. In addition, Samsung offers software that simplifies and speeds OneNAND’s inclusion in mobile devices, supporting a wide range of popular mobile operating systems.
Samsung's moviNAND is an embedded memory card that combines an MMC controller with gigabytes of NAND flash and associated firmware. In addition to speed and density, moviNAND offers a flexible, industry-standard architecture that simplifies mass storage designs for portable consumer electronics devices. This fusion product can also be used with removable media cards to permit virtually unlimited memory expansion.
NOR flash is non-volatile memory that can hold stored data even when the power is out, such as code storage. Samsung NOR Flash can be found in data storage applications in mobile devices as well as in home applicances, industrial and automotive uses. Utilizing its memory leadership and process technology strengths, Samsung also offers NOR Flash within Multi-Chip Packages.
Samsung technology is widely used for flash cards – most prominently, in MMCs. This industry-standard format provides storage for a variety of portable devices. Samsung’s offering includes MMCplus, MMCmobile, MMCmicro and SecureMMC in an array of cards that are available in different sizes, speeds, voltages, security levels and densities. Samsung also includes SD and MicroSD cards in its broad line up.
