SanDisk’s newest generation of SSDs feature a native SAS 6Gb/s interface,
outstanding performance metrics, and a comprehensive set of high-end features
making them ideal for a wide variety of enterprise applications such as servers,
external storage arrays, and storage area networks (SAN) where performance and
high-availability are required, while integrating with existing infrastructure.

OEMs and IT managers no longer have to compromise on performance, endurance
and reliability to obtain affordability. Optimus SSDs offer all four in a single package
through a combination of unique and innovative IP, and the use of Multi-Level Cell
(MLC) flash.

Available in capacities of 100GB, 200GB, 400GB, 800GB, and 1.6TB*, Optimus SSDs
provide random read/write performance up to 100K/45K IOPS and sustained read/
write speeds of up to 500/500 MB/s**. Optimus also includes support for wide-port
SAS capability providing up to 1 GB/s sustained read performance in applications
that support this advanced feature.

Guardian Technology™ Platform

The Optimus SSD is powered by SanDisk’s Guardian Technology Platform, a
comprehensive suite of innovative features comprised of FlashGuard
and EverGuard

™ technologies.

FlashGuard Technology

FlashGuard Technology extends the native endurance of commercial-grade MLC
flash based SSDs from less than 1 drive write per day up to 50 full capacity writes
per day. Optimus SAS SSDs have a five year warranty. FlashGuard Technology
combines Aggregated Flash Management, which treats all flash elements as a
single system, and Advanced Signal Processing, which dynamically adjusts flash
parameters throughout the life of the SSD, to reliably extract significantly more
life from commercial-grade MLC flash. Using these features in combination with
proprietary enhanced error-correction (ECC) techniques, FlashGuard technology
provides the endurance enhancements required to enable the use of MLC flash in
mixed-use and write-intensive application workloads.

DataGuard Technology

DataGuard Technology features full data path protection, safeguarding user data
from corruption along all data paths in the SSD. DataGuard Technology also
protects the SSD against loss of data at the page and block levels using a unique
feature called F.R.A.M.E. (Flexible Redundant Array of Memory Elements). F.R.A.M.E.
acts as a data recovery feature that enables the recovery of user data even after
catastrophic events such as flash page or block failures.

EverGuard Technology

EverGuard Technology protects against loss of user data in the event of unexpected
power interruptions using a 3rd generation backup power circuit design and high­reliability discrete capacitors.
