SanDisk is introducing a 2.5 inch popular form factor SSD with SATA interface, which will make it a drop-in replacement for the hard disk based drives in laptops and notebook computers. The announcement is followed up after the launch of 1.8 inch SSD by SanDisk, but the 2.5 SSD cheaper and is available for $350 for volume buyers.
Company says the price, per gigabyte, of SSD storage will continue to go down while capacities shoot upwards once consumers realize they can opt out of rotating disk drives for the "superior experience of SSDs."
Company claims it is there 5th generation SSD, SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 2.5" is based on technology that has been field-proven for over a decade in the harshest of environments. It uses NAND flash enhanced by our patented TrueFFS® flash management technology. SanDisk SSD delivers an outstanding two million hour mean time between failure (MTBF)1. This superior level results in reduced tangible costs, such as IT labor costs, while also decreasing intangible costs associated with inaccessible data.
With no moving parts, SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 2.5" does not need to spin up into action or to seek files in the way that conventional hard disk drives do, while also eliminating the limitations of random seek performance. These characteristics, combined with SanDisk advanced flash management technology, enable SanDisk SSD to achieve performance that is approximately twice as fast as the hard disk drive. SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 2.5" achieves a sustained read rate of 67-megabyte (MB)*/sec and a random read rate of 7000 inputs/outputs per second (IOPS) for a 512-byte transfer.
SanDisk is claiming that it can boot Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise in as little as 30 seconds and can access files at an average speed of 0.11 milliseconds—compared to the 48 seconds it would take to boot and 17 milliseconds to access files on a notebook using a hard disk drive.
