SanDisk SSD UATA 5000 1.8" Flash Drives

SanDisk SSD UATA 5000 1.8" is designed to drive the shift of mobile PC users from the hard disk drive to the solid state drive. A drop-in replacement for the hard disk drive, it delivers far superior durability, performance and power efficiency - keeping mobile PCs working optimally in the toughest of conditions. SanDisk SSD UATA 5000 1.8", with 32 and 64-gigabyte (GB) flash memory, is targeted at enterprise users as the first step in mass consumer adoption of the solid state drive in the mobile PC market. With no moving parts, SanDisk SSD does not need to spin up into action or to seek files in the way that conventional hard disk drives doenabling SanDisk SSD to work much faster. SanDisk, the industry leader in flash storage, is uniquely positioned to drive the paradigm shift in mobile computing to SSDs. Inside enterprise computers such as the thin & light laptop and ultra-mobile PC (UMPC), SanDisk SSD delivers unbeatable durability, system performance and power efficiency. 

We also supply UATA 2.5" flash drives. Find them here.

Field-Tested Durability
Our 5th generation SSD, SanDisk SSD UATA 5000 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 opportunities and reputations.

Enhanced Performance
With no moving parts, SanDisk SSD does not need to spin up into action or to seek files in the way that conventional hard disk drives do - enabling SanDisk SSD to work much faster. SanDisk SSD UATA 5000 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 transfer² – more than 100 times faster than any hard disk drive.

These performance figures boost system performance. For instance, SanDisk SSD UATA 5000 can boot Microsoft Windows® Vista™ Enterprise on a laptop in as little as 35 seconds.³ SanDisk SSD achieves an average file access rate of 0.11 milliseconds.⁴ On Windows Experience Index for Microsoft® Vista™, SanDisk SSD scores 5.6 out of a total 5.9, whereas a hard disk drive scores 3.7 on the same test inside the same laptop.⁵

Power Efficient
Another advantage of SanDisk SSD UATA 5000 is its low power consumption rate compared to the hard disk drive: 0.5W during active operation versus 1.0W. This is particularly important to extend the battery life for the benefit of road warriors.
