SanDisk SSD PLUS - 480GB 2.5-inch

Cost-effective flash for multiple workloads with excellent performance, capacity, endurance, and reliability. SanDisk’s CloudSpeed SSD product family was designed specifically to address the need for SSDs that are optimized for read-intensive and mixed-use application workloads in enterprise server and cloud computing environments. Leveraging SanDisk’s proprietary Guardian Technology™ Platform, tier-one OEM-enterprise firmware, proven power fail technology and the latest generation of consumer MLC NAND flash, CloudSpeed SSDs offer all the features expected from an enterprise-class drive at the right value. CloudSpeed SSDs are ideally suited for booting, logs, and data centers where low power, low latency storage is required. The CloudSpeed SSD’s excellent price - performance makes it an ideal replacement for hard disk drives. Available in capacities of 100GB-960GB, the CloudSpeed SSD product family features a 6Gb/s SATA interface and provides speeds up to 450/400 MB/s sustained read/write and performance up to 75K/25K IOPS random read/write. Guardian Technology Platform Leveraging SanDisk’s Guardian Technology Platform, a proprietary suite of enterprise features and endurance enhancement technologies, the CloudSpeed SSD product family delivers up to 5x higher endurance than competing client MLC SSDs. Enterprise organizations have utilized client-class SSDs with low endurance specifications in a consumption model, resulting in the need to replace an SSD multiple times within a typical 5-year warranty period. The higher endurance ratings of the CloudSpeed SSD product family enable enterprise organizations to extend the working life of their application or run at a higher write performance workload without having to worry about flash wear out. This fundamentally changes the total cost of ownership (TCO) for cloud and server storage applications. High Data Integrity The CloudSpeed SSD product family offers high data integrity by employing a combination of powerful error correction and detection, full data path protection, thermal monitoring, and data fail recovery. Comprehensive diagnostic tools are provided through SSD-specific S.M.A.R.T. attributes. Enterprise-Class Reliability Incorporating OEM enterprise-class firmware, the CloudSpeed SSD product family features a high reliability backup-power circuitry to ensure an elevated level of drive reliability. CloudSpeed product family achieves an MTBF of 2.5 million hours, and market - leading bit error rate (BER) of less than 1 in 1017 bits read, an 100x improvement over the JEDEC JESD 218 spec for enterprise grade SSDs. Enterprise Storage Expertise Extensive industry and design experience in enterprise storage applications, combined with enterprise-class support and comprehensive testing that includes: Design Verification Testing, System Integration Testing, Reliability Demonstration Testing and Ongoing Reliability Testing, the CloudSpeed SSD product family delivers a true enterprise grade storage offering to the server and cloud computing market.
