Flash Memory Procurement
This section covers the buying decision rather than the product: how to choose and verify a manufacturer, what to put in an RFQ, how MOQ and lead time are set, what a purchase specification and acceptance agreement should contain, and the checklists and tools to act on it. Everything here works on any supplier, including us.
Product Selection
How to choose a manufacturer
Six questions that separate a factory from a catalogue.
TF vs USB vs UDP
A decision guide by how your product receives storage, not by the marketing label.
Technical Specifications
Specify a TF card
The six lines that decide what you actually receive.
Specify a UDP module
What a designer has to fix before a UDP module can be quoted.
Specify a semi-finished board
The board-level decisions that change the price and the schedule.
Write a purchase spec
The clauses that keep batch two like batch one.
Quality Testing
Acceptance agreement
Turn 'it should be fine' into test criteria both sides sign off on.
OEM/ODM and Customization
Custom USB RFQ checklist
Specify housing, branding, interface and packaging so a custom USB quote is firm.
MOQ, Samples and Lead Time
How MOQ is set
Why there is no single MOQ, and what actually sets yours.
Samples
What a sample tells you that a datasheet cannot.
Production lead time
What the clock actually depends on, and where orders slip.
Cost and Repeat-Order Control
What affects the price
Seven variables — and why the NAND market moves all of them.
Repeat orders
What to lock in writing so the next order matches the last one.
Compare supplier quotes
Put two quotes side by side on grade and spec — not on the headline number.
Supplier Evaluation
How to verify a supplier
A checklist you can run in a day, on any supplier — including us.
RFQ and Incoming Inspection
What to send for a quote
The same list we work from — send it once, get a firm price.
TF card RFQ checklist
Everything to put in a TF card enquiry so the quote is firm, not a placeholder.
Bulk order acceptance
Agree these acceptance points before production, not after the goods arrive.
Interactive tools
Calculators and checklists you can use right now — estimate a TF card capacity, build a copy-ready USB specification, or record a sample acceptance result.

Request a quoteFrequently asked questions
What information do you need before you can quote?
Five things: product type (card, UDP module, USB drive or semi-finished board), capacity, quantity, branding requirement and the date you need the goods. Anything missing is asked back rather than assumed, because a quote built on assumptions usually changes later.
How can I compare quotations from several suppliers fairly?
Put every quote on the same basis: same Incoterm, same capacity and NAND grade, same packaging, same test scope, and a stated quotation validity period. A lower unit price with a different grade or a shorter validity is not the same offer.
Do you supply samples before a bulk order?
Yes. Samples are produced and approved before bulk production, and what to test on the sample is agreed in advance — capacity verification, read and write speed, print quality and packaging. Bulk production starts only after the sample is signed off.
What documents come with a shipment?
Commercial invoice, packing list and a certificate of conformance as standard. Test reports and material declarations are available on request, and any document your customs broker needs should be named before the order is confirmed rather than after.
