(InfoWorld) - Samsung Electronics is sampling a new type of flash memory device that could make it easier for makers of mobile phones and MP3 players to increase the storage capacity of their products. Samsung's moviNAND devices combine a NAND flash memory chip, an MMC (multimedia card) controller, and some firmware into a component that's small enough to be used in the latest portable electronics products, the company said. Samsung has started shipping samples of 1GB and 2GB moviNAND chips to manufacturers and will begin mass producing them later this month. It plans to introduce 512MB and 4GB capacities by the end of this year, it said. MoviNAND solves allows device makers to include a large amount of flash memory in their products while still using a standard serial interface, the company said. "The significance of the MMC interface is that the complexities of the native NAND interface and management are completely abstracted from the [portable device]," Samsung spokesman John Lucas said via e-mail. In addition, the MMC interface performance better than other standard interfaces because it has an 8-bit wide bus, allowing data to be processed at up to 52MB per second, he said. NAND flash has become popular for its ability to store large amounts of data at relatively low cost and to retain that data when devices are switched off. It's used in memory sticks, memory cards and digital music players such as Apple Computer's iPod. Other NAND makers include Toshiba, Hynix Semiconductor, and IM Flash Technologies. It's one of several recent flash memory advancements from Samsung. On Monday the South Korean companyÂ showed off a 32GB NAND flash memory chipÂ built using an advanced, 40-nanometer manufacturing process.

(InfoWorld) - Samsung ElectronicsÂ has begun shipping its first hybrid hard-disk drives that mix conventional magnetic storage with flash memory, it said Wednesday. The drives are designed for use in laptop PCs and willÂ work with the ReadyDrive featureÂ in the new Windows Vista operating system. Under ReadyDrive, the flash memory acts as a temporary cache enabling the number of disk accesses to be cut. This means the drive spends less time in motion and so uses less power. Samsung claims a 70 percent to 90 percent cut in power consumption thanks to the system. Because data can quickly be stored and retreived from the flash memory, ReadyDrive should also allow PCs to wake up faster from sleep mode. The first three drives from Samsung are 80GB, 120GB, and 160GB models and have either 128MB or 256MB of flash memory. That's the same flash capacity as prototypes Samsung unveiled at last year's Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in Seattle in May. In July of last yearÂ Samsung followed up with a prototypeÂ that included 4GB of flash memory. Software support for ReadyDrive exists in Windows Vista only so PCs running other operating systems won't benefit from the technology. IntelÂ has a competing system that isÂ code-named Robson. It has the flash memory on the PC motherboard and will be included on Intel's new Santa Rosa laptop platform that is due in the second quarter of this year. Â
