With almost 10 years of booting mobile handsets from multi-level cell (MLC) NAND, SanDisk has the history of innovation and technical expertise needed to consolidate boot and storage functions in a single package.

iNAND's optimal balance between system code and user data storage is achieved by implementing unique NAND capabilities and architecture. A reliable high random performance area is designated for the smartphone operating system, with a cost-effective high-sequential performance area dedicated to user storage. iNAND architecture is developed based on in-depth analyses of actual smartphone usage, and supports highly aggressive mobile system and usage scenarios.

New Features Improve Responsiveness by Enhancing Mobile Host Control

As smartphone applications proliferate, the ability to multitask requires a greater degree of responsiveness from the storage device. In addition to fully supporting the e.MMC 4.4 specification, the latest generation of SanDisk iNAND EFDs introduces new features that improve performance by enhancing the level of control the mobile host is given over the storage device.

Flexible read prioritization functionality in iNAND empowers the mobile host to temporarily suspend storage device operations in favor of high priority ones, substantially reducing storage device latency. System latency is further reduced by performing common background flash maintenance operations during system idle time. Allowing iNAND background operations to be scheduled by the host ensures that the storage device is not busy when it's needed most.

Quick Integration into Customers' Mobile Systems and Industry Standards

"SanDisk's ability to provide a viable boot solution comes from an intimate knowledge of both flash and system technologies together with the experience gained in almost ten years of booting mobile handsets with embedded MLC flash," said Amir Lehr, vice president, mobile business, SanDisk. "This allows SanDisk to quickly offer advanced mobile system solutions to its customers, and to turn innovative thinking into industry standards."

About iNAND

SanDisk iNAND EFDs come in a wide range of storage capacities, ranging from 2 gigabytes (GB)1 to 64GB and utilizing e.MMC standard interfaces and packages for quick integration into handset designs. With managed physical partitions, advanced caching technology, customizable attributes and advanced power failure immunity, SanDisk iNAND features highly reliable boot code and application storage device capabilities in addition to being a mass storage solution. iNAND devices are based on both 2 bits-per-cell (X2) and 3 bits-per-cell (X3) technologies.

2 While running MobileMark and average (typical) power.
3 Assumes HIPM (Host Initated Power Management) is enabled.
4 vRPM (virtual Revolutions Per Minute) - a metric to compare SSD performance in client PCs with theHDD and with other SSDs. vRPM answers the question how fast would a HDD have to spin in order to deliver the same performance as a SSD in a client PC. vRPM = 50 / ((0.5 / 4kB random read IOPS) + 0.5 / 4kB random write IOPS)).
5 nCache™ acceleration technology is a large Non Volatile Write Cache, a unique feature in SanDisk pSSD-P2 and SanDisk pSSD-S2 that improves random write performance and ensures an improved user experience. Studies show that modern operating systems mostly access the storage device using 4k access blocks. The cache is filled during these small write commands and emptied during idle time when the host is not accessing the drive, with no risk of data loss. For a typical everyday use, the write performance that the users see is the nCache technology (burst) high performance, and not steady state (sustained) SanDisk pSSD performance. Based on IOmeter 4K random write test.
