Description
SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. designs and manufactures industrial grade Flash memory cards in a variety of form factors. SMART does not own silicon but chooses silicon and technology partners in order to offer the most effective, suitable solution for specific customer applications at the lowest cost. Because of this vendor independence, SMART provides OEMs with unbiased advice and the optimum Flash solution for any application. SMART is a member of the PCMCIA committee and the CompactFlash Association.

SMART's industrial grade high-performance XceedCF product offerings are targeted at OEM markets such as networking, telecommunications and data communication applications as well as mobile and embedded computing, automotive, GPS and industrial applications. CompactFlash cards can be found in set-top boxes, voice recorders, digital still and video cameras and MP3 players. They are also used to communicate and store faxes or voice mail on next-generation mobile phones.

SMART's XceedAT PC cards are based on the same ATA engine as XceedCF cards and offer a backward-compatibility solution for PC Card slots. SMART's 68-pin Type I industrial grade XceedAT Flash cards are compatible with Type I, II and III PC card slots. XceedAT PC cards are well suited for applications such as notebooks, telecom and networking equipment. High-density XceedAT Flash cards bring low power and maneuverability to these applications. SMART's XceedAT PC cards offer a high-capacity mass storage solution which act like a hard drive but are fast and portable like solid state storage devices.
