1.0 Introduction
Designed to replace traditional rotating disk
drives, SanDisk FlashDrives are embedded solid-
state data storage systems for mobile computing
and the industrial work place. The 1.8-inch
FlashDrives (model SDIB) are compatible with
1.8-inch form factor hard disk drives. The 2.5- and
3.5-inch FlashDrives (models SD25B and SD35B)
are compatible with 2.5- and 3.5-inch form factor
disk drives. These FlashDrives, and all SanDisk
FlashDrives, feature an extremely light weight,
low profile form factor with 4 to 440 megabytes
(MB) of storage capacity. SanDisk FlashDrives fit into standard disk drive
bays, use the industry standard IDE interface and
connect to the host system via the same ribbon
cable used to connect standard disk drives. No
additional device drives are required.
FlashDrives consist of an IDE compatible flash
memory controller and flash memory chip(s). See
Figure 1-1 for a system block diagram of these IDE
FlashDrive products.
