SanDisk pSSD SATA SSDs unveiled at CES 2009

Jan 6 2009, 7:32am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

SanDisk today unveiled its next-generation of flash memory-based solid-state drives (SSD) dubbed SanDisk pSSD. 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 take just half the time of an HDD.
Available in capacities of 8, 16, 32 and 64GB, SanDisk Gen 2 pSSD drives are aggressively priced, making them attractive for POS terminals, printers, ATMs and other applications where users need HDD functionality with strong reliability, yet want to pay a low cost for the exact capacity that they need. For example, the 32GB modular SSD is priced at parity with 2.5" HDDs in OEM quantities.

SanDisk's Gen 2 pSSD drives, slated to be available in February, 2009, are built using the company's reliable 43-nanometer Multi-Level Cell (MLC) flash memory. This technology is produced at fabrication plants in Yokkaichi, Japan, where SanDisk and its partner, Toshiba Corporation, share the output.
