>> Q: Where'd the name come from? A piece of trivia I'd like to know.

It used to be called "SunDisk". Its initial product was PCMCIA cards for PC's. Sun Microsystems sued them and made them change the "Sun" part. So in a brilliant stroke of imagination, they changed the sun to san. That was in approx 1994.
