SanDisk  ash management software

is embedded inside SanDisk EFDs,

enabling them to emulate a standard

hard disk drive and serve as a boot

device, while ensuring MLC NAND

reliability. Robust  ash error detection

and correction, automated bad block management

and advanced wear-leveling algorithms deliver de-

vice reliability, endurance and data retention.

The SanDisk family of EFDs comes in

a range of capacities and con gura-

tions, including high-capacity, discrete

MLC NAND  ash and multi-chip pack-

ages (MCPs) with low-power DRAM

and single-level cell (SLC) NAND  ash.

They support seamless migration to future designs,

and scalable storage of up to 16GB.
