Kingston Technology has stopped selling NAND flash disk drives that support U3, the platform advocated by SanDisk, due to the observed cost pressure from royalty payments, according to sources at the company.
Sources at controller IC design houses had mentioned that SanDisk charges companies a 5% royalty fee for adopting the U3 platform in accordance to the volume shipped.
