# Link A Media

Link_A_Media Devices (LAMD) was a privately-held fabless semiconductor company founded in March 2004 by storage industry veterans and headquartered in Santa Clara, California. It built signal-processing and data-recovery technology — read channels, error correction and System-on-Chip blocks — that storage OEMs combined with their own proprietary logic to build custom controller SoCs for hard disk drives and NAND flash. Its product lines were MagLINK (magnetic/HDD) and FlashLINK (NAND/SSD), sold as IP and silicon to drive manufacturers rather than as a developer-facing service. The company targeted higher areal density, lower cost per gigabyte, improved drive robustness and higher manufacturing yields. LAMD is no longer an operating independent company: its website was live through January 2013 and the domain is today a parked for-sale listing. It never published a public API, developer portal, or SDK, so there is no API surface for the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline to capture.
