SanDisk Rolls Out Solid State Drives For ULPCs

By Branko Miletic | Tuesday | 03/06/2008

SanDisk has introduced a line of flash memory-based solid-state drives (SSDs) that are designed for an emerging new category of portable consumer electronics – the Ultra Light PC (ULPC) - that allow users to have an enhanced experience while easily surfing the Internet using wireless communication.

The SanDisk pSSD (Parallel ATA solid state drive) eliminates the need for a hard disk drive and can store both the operating system and application data for these portable devices.

SanDisk is making the new SSD modules available in 4-, 8- and 16-gigabyte (GB) capacities, with a streaming read speed of 39 megabytes per second (MB/s) and a streaming write performance of 17MB/s.

SanDisk's pSSD solid state drives, which are expected to be available starting in August, are built using the company's reliable Multi-Level Cell (MLC) and Single-Level Cell (SLC) flash memory.
