SanDisk MLC NAND Specifications

SanDisk
Solid State Drive
SanDisk® pSSD™ solid state drive introduces all the
benefi ts of fl ash memory to the exciting, new net-
book market. Rugged and reliable, SanDisk pSSD solid
state drive is the right storage module for netsurfi ng
and wireless communication on ultra low cost PC
(ULCPC) netbooks. With up to 16GB* multi-level cell
(MLC) NAND fl ash, it is a fraction of the weight and
cost of a hard disk drive. An advanced controller, rep-
resenting the best of the company's years of expertise
with the parallel ATA (PATA) interface, makes SanDisk
pSSD solid state drive both fast and power-effi cient.
SanDisk pSSD solid state drive. Everything that fl ash
storage should be for today's mobile PC lifestyle.
A Perfect Match for ULCPCs
SanDisk pSSD PATA-based solid state drive was
designed especially to meet the requirements of
ULCPCs. These small laptops must be lightweight,
rugged and reliable for mobile users in the consumer
market, giving them easy Internet access and making
wireless communication fun.

Rugged and Reliable
SanDisk pSSD solid state drive has no moving parts,
making it far more reliable than a HDD. It withstands
the wear-and-tear of people on the go, and operates
soundlessly in environments where noise is a nui-
sance, such as classrooms. SanDisk patented fl ash
management technology brings high data integrity
to its pSSD solid state drives. Dynamic bad block
management, dynamic and static wear-leveling, and
robust error detection and correction code (EDC/ECC)
ensure data reliability.
Fast and Power Effi cient
SanDisk pSSD solid state drive boots fast and
keeps working at high speed, without the need to
spin up into action or to seek fi les like a conven-
tional HDD. SanDisk pSSD solid state drive achieves
an industry-leading sustained read speed as high
as 39MB/sec and a sustained write speed of up to
17MB/sec with multi-level cell (MLC) NAND fl ash
technology. Solid-state operation also extends bat-
tery life, critical for ULCPC users.
Low Cost and Lightweight
With MLC NAND technology, SanDisk pSSD solid state
drive gives users just the amount of memory they
need at a cost they can afford. A case-less module,
SanDisk pSSD solid state drive is one-tenth the weight
of a typical 1.8" HDD. SanDisk pSSD solid state drive
enables sleek and slim ULCPC industrial design to
meet worldwide consumer demands.
