SanDisk uSSD™ 5000 16GB [SSD] Solid State Disk

The SanDisk uSSDTM 5000 Solid State Drive (uSSD) takes the benefits of flash storage to new markets with low-capacity storage requirements, most notably the low-cost PC (LCPC). Rugged and reliable, it is a fraction of the size and cost of a hard disk drive (HDD) in the 1 to 8 GB range. SanDisk adds high performance to the uSSD offering, with an advanced controller that exemplifies the company’s years of USB expertise.
Rugged and Reliable Unlike the HDD, the SanDisk uSSD has no moving parts. It keeps working in challenging environments such as classrooms, kiosks and in space-restricted server racks. The patented flash management technology brings top data integrity to the uSSD, even during power losses. Dynamic bad block management, dynamic and static wear-leveling, and robust error detection and correction code (EDC/ECC) ensure data reliability.
High Performance The uSSD achieves a sustained read speed as high as 31.6 MB/sec and a sustained write speed of up to 24.8 MB/sec with single-level cell (SLC) technology.
