SanDisk intros 16-gigbit, 3 bits per cell flash chips, also 43nm NAND going into production

Sandisk Most of the news from Sandisk is about new higher capacity and we give you a picture, but today we have a different story. Sandisk has just announced two new memory cards. The first is a 16-gigbit flash chip that contains three bits per cell, based on Toshiba’s “3D” flash tech. It will be available in March. The chip features 8MB/sec write performance, and is much smaller than conventional MLC chips.

Sandisk also announced that they are working on 43nm MLC fabrication, which will bring us 32 gigabit flash chips. Those will be available later this year. No word on pricing at this time.

VW USB Flash Drive

 VW Memory

Now heres is something for those of us who are geeks but also are hippies! Here is a flash drive with a VW look. There are four kinds to choose from, a VW Camper Van in red or green and a VW Beetle in pink or blue. When in use, the headlights flashes, which is a cute little feature.

The only downside is that it only has 256 MB of memory and costs $19.99.
