Sandisk intros 8GB iNAND embedded flash drive

It may not be 16GB, but Sandisk’s new embeddable 8GB NAND flash drive is still pretty darn spacious as far as these things go, so much so that the company’s deemed it necessary use an extra letter to fully express the drive’s expansiveness. Dubbed the “iNAND,” the drive is fully JEDEC-compliant (that’s Joint Electron Device Engineering Council, for those that have better things to memorize) and SD bus-compatible, designed for use in just about anything that needs to cram a lot of storage into a small space, including cellphones, PDAs, MP3 players, and GPS devices. It looks like we’ll still have to wait a while before we see one of these actually turn up in a device, however, with SanDisk only just now distributing engineering samples for testing and evaluation, with mass production slated to get underway sometime in the third quarter of this year.
