Description
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.
Applications
The SanDisk uSSD offers a no-compromise flash-based storage solution for:
- LCPCs that need rugged reliability and require up to 4 GB storage. The uSSD can meet
these requirements more cost-effectively than an HDD.
- Desktops that support Microsoft® Vista and can benefit from enabling ReadyBoost®.
- Point of sale (POS) stations, where the uSSD replaces the HDD.
- Blade servers, where the uSSD is ideal to store critical backup files and provide
boot functionality.
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.
Cost Effective
There is no need to pay for more capacity than you require. The uSSD lets you purchase
just the right amount of storage, packed inside a memory device that’s 4 times smaller
than a 1.8” HDD. It offers you the choice of single-level cell (SLC) flash technology
or the more cost-effective multi-level cell (MLC) technology.
