| Business Summary | | M-Systems
Inc.
is
a
developer,
manufacturer
and
marketer
of
data
storage
products,
known
as
flash
disks,
which
are
primarily
used
in
Internet
appliances,
network
infrastructure
equipment
and
other
embedded
systems.
Its
flash
disks
provide
the
functionality
of
a
mechanical
hard
drive
on
a
solid-state
silicon
chip.
The
Company
achieves
this
through
the
combination
of
its
patented
flash
management
technology,
known
as
TrueFFS,
standard
flash
memory
components
and
miniaturization
technologies
that
it
has
developed.
Flash
components
are
silicon
chips
on
which
data
can
be
recorded
and
from
which
data
can
be
retrieved,
and
which
require
no
power
to
retain
data.
Its
TrueFFS
software
enables
the
Company
to
transform
standard
flash
components
into
highly
reliable,
easy-to-integrate
and
efficient
flash
disks
that
meet
the
data
storage
needs
of
its
target
markets. | More
