Samsung Debuts 64GB moviNAND Memory [High Density 64GB moviNAND Flash Memory Announced]

Samsung have just announced that they’ve come up with an improved mass storage solution for smartphones and similar portable consumer electronics products. Dubbed moviNAND, the new drives take advantage of the company’s new 30nm technology and manage to reach a record 64GB storage space in a less than 0.06 inches tall package. How is that possible? There are 16 thin 4GB chips tied together to reach the capacity.

Also benefiting from the upgrade is Samsung’s microSDHC card line which now stocks up to eight 4GB chips (for a total of 32GB) inside the 0.04-inch thing package.

For those out of the know, “moviNAND (eMMC) is an embedded storage solution with an MMC interface, flash memory and controller, all in a small BGA package. It is based upon the industry-standard MMC System Specification v4.3 and JEDEC BGA packaging standards. With interface speeds of up to 52 MB per second, moviNAND provides fast scalable performance. It supports x1, x4 or x8 bus width and allows for an interface voltage of either 1.8v or 3.3v,” the company notes on their website.

Regarding availability, Samsung have acknowledge to have been producing the 64GB moviNAND since December 2009 (how rude of you not to share), as for the 32GB microSDHC it should be on the production lines starting next month.
