Sandisk inand are the new 256 gb chips for smartphones

Smartphone users demand increasing amounts of storage, and manufacturers face the problem of packing large amounts of GB in a very small space. To solve this problem Western Digital has announced its new SanDisk iNAND memory chips with a capacity of 256 GB in a very compact format.

The new SanDisk iNAND are manufactured using 64-layer NAND Flash 3D technology with which an impressive storage density is achieved, initially two versions will arrive iNAND 7750 and iNAND 8521 differentiated by the range they are aimed at. The SanDisk iNAND 7750 is intended for input range terminals where you want to offer a large amount of storage, for this it is based on the eMMC 5.1 interface, being able to offer sequential read and write speeds of up to 250/125 MB / s.

On the other hand, the SanDisk iNAND 8521 is aimed at top-of-the-range terminals, in which in addition to a lot of capacity, the highest working speed is desired. For this, it is based on UFS 2.1 technology, which is capable of providing up to 10 times higher speed than eMMC technology, making it ideal for terminals intended for the consumption of multimedia content in 4K or the most demanding video games.

In this way we will have a new generation of terminals with large storage capacity and more than prepared for the era of virtual reality and 4K, scenarios in which many GB are needed. This saves us the need to separately purchase a high-capacity MicroSD memory card, with the extra cost that this implies and the loss of performance.
