uSSD™ 5000 solid state drives

Rugged & Reliable

Unlike the HDD, SanDisk uSSD 5000 solid
state drive has no moving parts. It keeps
working in challenging environments
such as classrooms, kiosks and in space-

SanDisk uSSD™ 5000 solid state drive takes
the bene ts of  ash to new markets with
low-capacity storage requirements, most
notably the low cost PC (LCPC). Rugged and
reliable, it is a fraction of the size and cost
of the hard disk drive (HDD) in the 1 to 8
GB* range. SanDisk adds high performance
to the uSSD 5000 solid state drive offering,
with an advanced controller that represents
the company’s years of USB expertise.

restricted server racks. Our patented  ash
management technology brings top data
integrity to uSSD 5000 solid state drives,
even during power loss. Dynamic bad
block management, dynamic and static
wear-leveling, and robust error detection
and correction code (EDC/ECC) ensure
data reliability.

Applications

SanDisk uSSD 5000 solid state drive offers
a no-compromise  ash-based storage
solution for:

• LCPCs that must be rugged reliable
and require up to 4GB storage. uSSD
5000 solid state drive can meet these
requirements more ef ciently than
the HDD.

• Desktops that support Microsoft®
Vista and can bene t from enabling
ReadyBoost®.

• Point of sale (POS) stations, where uSSD
5000 solid state drive replaces the HDD.

• Blade servers, where uSSD 5000 solid
state drive is ideal to store critical backup
 les and provide boot functionality.

SanDisk uSSD 5000 solid state drives
achieve a sustained read speed as high as
31 MB/sec and a sustained write speed of
up to 24 MB/sec with single-level cell (SLC)
technology.

Cost Effective

Why pay for more capacity than you need?
uSSD 5000 solid state drives let you
purchase just the right amount, packed
inside a memory device that’s one-quarter
the size of the 1.8” HDD. It offers you the
choice of SLC  ash technology or the cost­effective multi-level cell (MLC) technology.
