SanDisk introduces a 32GB 2.5 inch SSD.
SanDisk already introduced a 1.8 inch 32GB SSD back in January. The 2.5 inch Serial ATA (SATA) interface SSD is compatible with most mainstream notebook designs.
In regards to performance gains compared to conventional hard-drives SanDisk provides this data:
Notebooks equipped with a 2.5-inch SanDisk SSD can boot Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise in as little as 30 seconds and access files at an average speed of 0.11 milliseconds. A notebook using a hard disk requires an average 48 seconds to boot and an average 17 milliseconds to access files.
The SanDisk SSDs offer a sustained read rate of 67 megabytes (MB) per second3 and a random read rate of 7,000 inputs/outputs per second (IOPS) for a 512-byte transfer.
The 32GB, 2.5 inch SanDisk SSD is available now to computer manufacturers, with initial pricing of $350 for large volume orders. Sandisk SSDs will be demonstrated at the CeBIT show in Hannover starting tomorrow.
