## Products & services

Sandisk’s product portfolio includes enterprise SSDs and software solutions for servers, online transactions, AI workloads and data analysis; SSDs for PCs, game consoles and set-top boxes; embedded flash for mobile, automotive, industrial and IoT devices; and consumer portable SSDs, memory cards and USB flash drives. The products are designed for differing needs in capacity, performance, power consumption, reliability and cost. [10](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P156503980)[11](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P156503981)[12](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P156503982)

The company develops NAND flash storage using successive 2D and 3D flash generations, including technologies that increase bits per cell and reduce form factors. In FY2026, Sandisk said BiCS 8 production—covering TLC and QLC—had ramped to a majority of its bit production, and that its QLC Stargate platform began shipping for revenue in the fourth quarter. Sandisk also announced a 256TB UltraQLC/Stargate enterprise SSD demonstration and BiCS10 1Tb TLC sampling, with a stated interface speed of up to 4.8Gb/s. [13](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P156503977)[14](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P156505281)[15](https://investor.sandisk.com/news-releases/news-release-details/sandisk-showcases-ultraqlctm-technology-platform-milestone)[16](https://investor.sandisk.com/news-releases/news-release-details/sandisk-announces-sampling-bics10-1tb-tlc-3d-nand-flash-memory)

Consumer examples include the Extreme PRO Portable SSD, listed with capacities up to 4TB and read speeds up to 2,000MB/s, and Extreme PRO UHS-II SD cards, listed up to 512GB with V90 write speeds up to 300MB/s. Sandisk reported datacenter products represented 38% of its portfolio by bits exiting FY2026, compared with roughly 12% a year earlier; this is a bit-mix measure, not a revenue percentage.

## Company history

Founded in 1988 as SunDisk by Eli Harari, Sanjay Mehrotra and Jack Yuan, the company developed early flash-storage technology. In 1991, it demonstrated a solid-state-drive module for IBM, and in 1994 it introduced CompactFlash, an early removable flash-memory format. [25](https://mae.princeton.edu/about-mae/news/eli-harari-73-inducted-national-inventors-hall-fame) [26](https://www.computerhistory.org/storageengine/solid-state-drive-module-demonstrated/) [27](https://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/1994/)

SanDisk helped establish the Secure Digital (SD) card standard with Toshiba and Matsushita in 1999; the first SD cards reached the market in 2000. [28](https://www.global.toshiba/ww/news/corporate/1999/08/pr2501.html) [29](https://www.sandisk.com/company/newsroom/blogs/2025/an-enduring-legacy-the-the-sd-card-at-25) The company expanded into additional flash-storage markets through acquisitions, including M-Systems in 2006, Pliant Technology in 2011 and Fusion-io in 2014. [30](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1000180/000095013407001406/f26145exv99w1.htm) [31](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110516006005/en/SanDisk-Announces-Agreement-to-Acquire-Pliant-Technology) [32](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140616005671/en/SanDisk-Signs-Definitive-Agreement-Acquire-Fusion-io)

Western Digital completed its acquisition of SanDisk in May 2016. [33](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/106040/000119312516588382/d154176dex991.htm) SanDisk became an independent public company again after completing its separation from Western Digital on February 24, 2025, and began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker SNDK.
