"Our NANDrive embedded flash solid-state drive continues to gain traction in a host of applications in the computing, digital consumer and industrial markets. Demand for our 26 Series SQI devices continues to build as system designers look for ways to improve performance while maintaining a small form factor and low power consumption."
