CR,

Lexar buys the flash memory chips from other vendors and fabricates the flash card (CF or SmartMedia). A flash card contains a controller and several flash memory chips.

Sandisk makes both the flash chips and the controller. May be a question for Sandisk, is there any plan to improve the performance of their controller? I notice that Lexar has a patent on the controller.

Mike.
