What is a SanDisk “automotive grade” product?

Automotive grade products are designed to operate over a wider temperature range and undergo more extensive qualification testing than equivalent commercial grade products. In addition, automotive grade products may undergo different production screening and monitoring processes to ensure performance to the highest quality levels and other relevant industry specifications required by the automotive industry.

How do I choose between SD™ and iNAND™ products for my automotive application?

SanDisk’s Automotive SD cards offer the benefit of removability, which gives the flexibility to load or update large quantities of map data separately from the main infotainment/head unit.

SanDisk’s Automotive iNAND embedded flash drive, based on the e.MMC standard, relieves the host central processing unit of directly managing NAND memory and allows for a simpler design with the product soldered to the main board that typically contains the operating system, application and user data.

As flash memory experts, SanDisk can provide advanced NAND management features to enhance performance and reliability with its automotive grade storage solutions.
