. SanDisk’s field proven, cost-effective, 

multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash technology, 
enables competitive pricing for these low cost 
portable devices. 

Fast

Your users will see the difference from the 

moment they power up their netbooks with 

SanDisk pSSD modular SSD: faster machine 

operation.

SanDisk pSSD boots fast and keeps working  

at high speed, without the need to spin up  

into action or to seek files like a conventional 

HDD. SanDisk’s modular SSD achieves 

high sustained random write performance 

translating to 9,000 vRPM.

In addition, nCache™ SanDisk’s large 

non volatile write cache provides a burst 

performance of x5 the sustained random write, 

allowing the users to enjoy an enhanced user 

experience, without the typical stuttering found 

in first generation SSD modules. pSSD empties 

its cache during idle time, and since the cache is 

non-volatile there is no risk of data loss to  

the user. 

Rugged and Reliable

Design strong and solid netbooks that 

withstand the wear-and-tear of people on 

the go, and operate soundlessly even in 

environments where noise is a nuisance,  

such as bedrooms.

With no moving parts, SanDisk pSSD modular 

SSD is far more reliable than a HDD. Backed 

by its patented flash management technology, 

SanDisk brings high data integrity to its 

modular flash device. Dynamic bad block 

management, dynamic and static wear-leveling, 

and robust error detection and correction code 

(EDC/ECC) ensure data reliability.

Power Efficient

Extend battery life of netbooks by using SanDisk 

pSSD modular SSD, and see a significant power 

savings over using a rotating HDD, a critical 

matter for netbook users on the go. 

Designing with SanDisk

SanDisk has a 20 year legacy of innovating 

industries by creating powerful new 

technologies that have revolutionized the world 

of portable computing. 

Our storage devices empower thousands of 

products by hundreds of global manufacturers 

to deliver better end-user experiences. SanDisk 

is a trusted leader in flash memory with many 

NAND flash technology patents.
