A-Data Technology has recently secured NAND flash supply from Hynix Semiconductor through 2010, by making payments in advance, according to industry sources. In response, the memory module maker declined to comment on its chip sourcing.
A-Data on July 23 issued a filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) announcing that it had prepaid a certain amount for NAND flash chips, securing long-term supply from an unspecified chipmaker.
Phison Electronics earlier announced it had prepaid a total of US$40 million for NAND flash chips so far in 2009. The sources also speculated that half of the amount was spent on Hynix chips.
