SanDisk Corporation has unveiled its next-generation of flash memory-based solid-state drives (SSD) - SanDisk pSSD - for netbooks. The new SanDisk pSSD-P2 and SanDisk pSSD-S2 SSDs have capacity and performance for more full-featured netbooks which require a robust operating system. Designed as drop-in replacements for hard-disk drives (HDDs), SanDisk's new second generation module has a SATA interface to meet new netbook design requirements. The SATA interface offers a significant boost in performance rendering these SSDs faster than HDDs in critical aspects. Booting and launching applications takes half the time of an HDD. SanDisk's Gen 2 pSSD drives, slated to be available in February, 2009, are built using the company's 43-nanometer Multi-Level Cell (MLC) flash memory. "Netbooks represent the fastest growing PC segment in 2009 and 2010 yet widespread adoption of SSDs in netbooks has been limited by speed, capacity and cost constraints," said Rich Heye, senior vice president and general manager, Solid-State Drives (SSD), SanDisk. "With the significant improvements in performance, capacity and low pricing, these SSDs are a perfect fit for the exploding netbook market." "SanDisk's Gen 2 pSSD drives have the best combination of capacity, performance, weight, pricing and power advantages to really excite designers, manufacturers and users of netbooks," said Richard Brown, VP of Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. "Our latest reference designs will include SanDisk's Gen2 pSSD drives, and we look forward to working with SanDisk to aggressively address the netbook market's needs." |
