uSSD™ 5000 Solid State Drive: All the Benefits of Flash in Cost-Effective, Low Capacities

SanDisk has expanded its flash-based solid state drive (SSD) product offering to cost-effectively meet low-capacity storage requirements. SanDisk® uSSD™ 5000 solid state drive enables a range of markets – such as low cost PC (LCPC), desktops that support Microsoft® Vista and can benefit from enabling ReadyBoost®, point of sale (POS) equipment and blade servers – to take advantage of all the benefits of flash at a fraction of the cost and size of the HDD in the 1 to 8 Gbyte (GB) range.

Rugged & Reliable: With no moving parts, uSSD™ 5000 solid state drive keeps working in challenging environments such as classrooms, kiosks and in space-restricted server racks. Our patented flash management ensures top data reliability using dynamic and static wear-leveling, and robust error detection and correction code (EDC/ECC).

Cost Effective: uSSD™ 5000 solid state drive lets you purchase just the right amount of storage, packed inside a memory device that is 4 times smaller than the size of the smallest 1.8” HDD. Choose between single-level cell (SLC) flash technology or the cost-effective multi-level cell (MLC) technology.

High Performance: An advanced controller, representing the company’s years of expertise with the USB interface, enables uSSD™ 5000 solid state drive to achieve a sustained read speed as high as 31.6 Mbytes/sec and a sustained write speed of up to 24.8 Mbytes/sec with single-level cell (SLC) technology.*
