| msystems' mDOC H3 Embedded Flash Drive Now in Mass Production msystems announces that mass production of the mDOC H3 embedded flash drive 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. 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-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. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
