M-Systems says its new mDiskOnChip G3 flash technology for mobile devices achieves increased storage density by using multi-level cell (MLC) NAND, which stores twice the data per cell compared wtih NAND. The technology also supports low-power operating modes with reduced voltage levels, and execute-in-place (XiP) booting. It supports all major architectures and operating systems, according to M-Systems, and is designed for use with M-Systems's patented TrueFFS file system. It was released March 30, 2004.
"By including mDiskOnChip G3 throughout our RISC-based product line, we are enabling our customers to reap the rewards derived from the latest flash technology. In addition to an abundance of storage capacity, mDiskOnChip G3 [offers] low cost, extreme reliability, and high performance," said Joe Cheng, director of Advantech's RISC Embedded Computing Division.
