Samsung has mad an $5.8 billion offer to buy Sandisk, the largest manufacturer of memory cards.
Some of the reasons must be the large amount of royalties Samsung pays for the use of Sandisk flash technology and the wide distribution and retail brands for Sandisk's products.
Currently Sandisk works with Toshiba through agreements. Sandisk provides the technology and knowledge, while Toshiba provide the chips and operates the factories. SanDisk then puts these chips in products such as microSD cards for cell phones, SD cards for digital cameras, and USB drives.
