New, Best-in-Class Embedded Flash Drive with
Innovative Storage Architecture Enables 1Gb Per Second or Higher
Data Transfer Speed on Demand
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2015 – SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:
SNDK), a global leader in flash storage solutions, today introduced
the iNAND® 7132 storage solution, the most advanced embedded
storage solution from SanDisk to date. Designed for use in flagship
mobile devices, the iNAND 7132 storage solution features SanDisk’s
new iNAND Accelerator Architecture with SmartSLC technology, an
innovative new storage architecture that quickly and intelligently
responds on-demand to mobile users’ needs and gives superior
experiences to the most data-intensive applications. Available in
capacities up to 64GB1, iNAND 7132 storage solution enables
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to introduce a new
generation of high-capacity smartphones, tablets and connected
devices that offer exceptional user experiences.

“iNAND 7132 is the perfect high capacity storage solution for
the next generation of smartphones, tablets and smart devices,”
said Drew Henry, senior vice president and general manager for
Mobile and Connected Solutions at SanDisk. “Featuring our new iNAND
Accelerator Architecture with SmartSLC, our best-in-class iNAND
7132 storage solution delivers amazing performance for faster burst
photography and 4K Ultra HD video capture, supports the newest
802.11 standards with ease, and enables blazingly fast data
side-loading.”
Designed for Performance, Capacity and Endurance
iNAND 7132 storage solution is built with SanDisk’s 1Y nanometer
3-bit-per-cell (X3) NAND flash storage. When combined with the
drive’s SmartSLC technology, this storage solution offers near
single-level-cell performance when the user need demands it, with
the storage solution boasting sequential write speeds of up to 1Gb
per second and beyond2. It brings tremendous performance to even
the most data-intensive business, video, photography and mobile
gaming applications, as well as supports 802.11ac and 802.11ad
network standards.
The incredible speed of the iNAND 7132 storage solution also
enables device makers to push the design boundaries of smartphone
photography and video functionality. When used in optimized
smartphones, the performance of the iNAND 7132 storage solution
supports professional grade digital photography capabilities,
including image capture in RAW format, thereby expanding the
possibilities of image capture and processing. In addition, 4K
Ultra HD video can be captured and played back with ease.
SanDisk-commissioned testing and analysis conducted by Granite
River Labs, a global leader in engineering services and test
solutions for high speed connectivity, found iNAND Accelerator to
have a significant impact on smartphone performance. “In our tests,
the iNAND 7132 storage solution with iNAND Accelerator featuring
SmartSLC technology measurably boosted sequential write speeds.
Specifically, we’ve validated download speeds up to and above
1Gbps2,” said Miki Takahashi, director of engineering at Granite
River Labs.
In addition to its advanced new architecture, iNAND 7132 storage
solution uses e.MMC 5.0+ specification and incorporates a
sophisticated error correction hardware and software technology
that enhances its endurance and responsiveness, and reduces
latency. This enables devices with the iNAND 7132 storage solution
to perform at high levels throughout the life of the device, even
as the storage continues to fill up.
Optimized for the Mobile Ecosystem
SanDisk, which works with all major smartphone and tablet
manufacturers, optimized the iNAND 7132 storage solution to
seamlessly work with industry-leading application processors and
bring performance to Android, Chrome and Windows based smartphones,
tablets and connected devices.
In addition to improving the performance on popular system
platforms and applications, iNAND 7132 storage solution helps
reduce performance restrictions for application developers,
enabling new possibilities in mobile device design.
iNAND 7132 storage solution is supported by advanced simulation,
trouble-shooting and engineering tools that enable mobile
manufacturers to quickly and easily integrate the device into
mobile device designs. This offers the potential to significantly
reduce the time from product development to product
availability.
Specific features and specifications include:
- Built on the e.MMC 5.0+ HS400
specification
- Sequential write/read speeds up
to 125/280 MB/s3
- Features unique application
architecture enhancements that reduce latency and support
consistent performance
- Supports up to 3 fps of RAW image
capture3
- Available in packages just 11.5mm x
13mm in size and as thin as 0.8 mm enabling integration in slim
host devices
Market Research Analyst Perspective:
“There is a rising data appetite among smartphone users, which
largely driven by advanced media creation and consumption – the
capture of million-megapixels images and 4K video capture, digital
book downloads, tons of emails, offline music, documents storage
and retrieval all done on the smartphone itself. This has marked an
imminent need for flash storage that is not only higher capacity,
but also offers better performance delivery and greater reliability
compared to a traditional MLC flash storage. SanDisk is delivering
on all these three important fronts with its innovative new iNAND
7132 EFD. It not only comes in higher capacity configurations, but
also supercharges performance right at the application peaks and
opens the door for an entire new range of application experiences.”
