As part of the agreement, more than 20% of the joint-ventures’ capacity will be transferred to Toshiba. Back in October, 2008, Toshiba virtually gained control over 30% of the joint ventures’ (by signing memorandum of understanding), which means that now the Japanese electronics conglomerate controls all the flash capacities the belonged to joint ventures between SanDisk and Toshiba.
