Flash Memory Functionality Testing: Delivering Quality – Behind the Scenes

Smith’s memory card testing confirms full functionality of flash memory products.

 Smith delivers quality our customers around the world can trust, no matter what components they’re seeking or what disruptions the global electronics supply chain is experiencing. But what steps go into this quality assurance?

In our new series Delivering Quality – Behind the Scenes, we’ll offer an inside look at the steps our quality control and inspection teams take to make sure every component we ship is examined, tested, and vetted so our customers receive only the best from Smith.

Reliable In-House Functionality Testing

Shortage situations amplify the ever-present necessity of ensuring product quality. When leanness drives manufacturers to new and uncertain sources – or when companies that have not previously had to navigate new spaces like the semiconductor supply chain must source there – quality concerns are front and center.

While the current shortage climate is new territory in many ways for companies and industries worldwide, it’s familiar for Smith in that navigating constantly evolving supply chains has always been the nature of our business. Also familiar: making sure that we’re not only sourcing the required product for our customers but also ensuring it’s top quality, authentic, and fully functional.

In order to confirm this, Smith has invested years and resources into developing full-scale, in-house quality-assurance laboratories and practices. Our authenticity testing laboratory uses anticounterfeit inspection to verify that product is legitimate. And our global functionality testing laboratories put a variety of products – including memory cards – through their paces to make sure they work optimally and are ready for customers to use immediately.

A Full Range of Flash Media Testing

 Whatever type of flash media you need tested, Smith has the capability to do so. From SDs and CompactFlash to CFast and USB flash drives, we will run a variety of memory cards through the proper steps for comprehensive functionality confirmation.

 Verification of Memory Card Functionality

Whatever the format, we put flash memory cards through the appropriate manufacturer- or customer-specified testing to measure their capacity. Our quality-control staff also confirm cards’ read and write speeds to make sure they meet all specifications.

Memory-Testing Support That Helps Ensure Excellence

Flash memory products find homes and applications in a broad range of different devices across industries, and this far reach highlights how vital it is to confirm their precise functionality. Smith offers customizable testing options that can deliver exactly this peace of mind.
