SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 2.5″, a solid state drive with up to 64-gigabyte (GB)* flash memory, is a drop-in replacement for the hard disk drive. This popular form factor and Serial ATA (SATA) interface are ideal for thin and light notebooks, the largest mobile PC segment in the enterprise space.
Highly Durable
Our 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 to failure (MTTF)1 rate. This superior level results in reduced tangible costs, such as IT labor costs, while also decreasing intangible costs associated with inaccessible data that can negatively affect business reputations.
Enhanced Performance
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 drive2. SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 2.5″ achieves a sustained read rate of 67-megabyte (MB)*/sec and a random read rate of over 7000 inputs/outputs per second (IOPS) for a 512-byte transfer3.
These performance figures boost system performance and enhance the user experience. For instance, SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 2.5″ can boot Microsoft Windows® Vista™ Enterprise on a laptop in as little as 30 seconds4. SanDisk SSD achieves an average file access rate of 0.11 milliseconds.2 On Windows Experience Index for Microsoft®Vista™, SanDisk SSD scores 5.6 out of a total 5.9.5
Power Efficient
Another advantage of SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 2.5″ is its low power consumption rate, less than 50%, compared to the hard disk drive: 1.0W during active operation versus 2.4W. This is particularly important to extend the battery life for the benefit of road warriors.
Note: 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes; 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1 billion bytes. Some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and thus is not available for data storage. Read more.
