M Systems Flash Disk (NASDAQ:FLSH)
Historical Stock Chart
From Sep 2019 to Sep 2024
msystems (NASDAQ:FLSH), a leader in smart personal
storage, today announced that mass production of the mDOC H3 embedded
flash drive (EFD) has commenced and will start shipping to top-tier
customers for their high-volume mobile projects.
As a testament to the growing importance of personal storage
within mainstream multimedia handsets and smart phones, top-tier
manufacturers have integrated mDOC H3 into their latest products as a
key component to provide high-capacity storage for photos, music
files, applications and anything else subscribers may choose to save
on their handsets' personal storage.
"It is encouraging to see that the confidence our partners put in
mDOC H3 is shared by our manufacturing customers" said Dan Inbar,
corporate vice president and co-manager of the msystems mobile
division. "Based upon more than 17 years of flash expertise, a strong
intellectual property portfolio and the experience of integrating our
products within millions of deployed, tier-1 mobile handsets, mDOC H3
takes a smarter approach to embedded flash drives. In addition to
allowing easier integration of the latest, most cost-effective NAND
flash material from major silicon partners such as Toshiba and Hynix,
we have succeeded in bringing the mDOC H3 to market with an even
higher level of system performance than initially announced."
Although initial announcements stated that mDOC H3 would have a
write speed of 4-megabytes per second and a read speed of 10-megabytes
per second, msystems has already achieved write speeds of up to
7-megabytes per second and read speeds as high as 25-megabytes per
second. The high system performance of mDOC H3 is enabled by its
advanced architecture and its embedded TrueFFS(R)-based flash
management software, which operates internally within the chip as
firmware. Embedded TrueFFS frees the host for other tasks and provides
CPU and bus offload while overcoming the limitations of the latest
NAND technology.
The mDOC H3 embedded flash drive, now mass produced in a range of
densities up to 1-gigabyte, is available from msystems. The 2-gigabyte
mDOC H3 is slated for availability within the next 2 months.
