SanDisk 256GB ExtremeFFS SSD
June 7, 2010 | Hardware, Portable Storage | 2 CommentsThe SanDisk SSD 256GB and the other drives are available in compact form factors that SanDisk can customize according to manufacturers’ specifications, offering greater freedom and flexibility in the way OEMs design their products.

The SanDisk SSD uses advanced 32-nanometer (nm) multi-level cell (MLC) process technology, which enables cost-competitive storage capacity with a footprint. High volume production of disk drives is scheduled for the third calendar quarter of 2010 with the product available to OEMs at the time, price will depend on the quantity ordered.
“We designed our new SanDisk SSD for use by consumers in the long term in mind,” said Doron Myersdorf, Senior Director, Marketing SSD, SanDisk. “Our readers offer faster startup and improved responsiveness of the system time while maintaining our uncompromising standards of reliability. In addition, flash drives use our Adaptive Management (AFM) technology, which enables them to bridge the gap between market demands and more and more difficult first NAND flash characteristics.
Capacity and performance, ranging from 64 GB to 256 GB with sequential read / write speeds up to 220 and 160 MB / sec. The combination of drive capability and high performance offers quick start times, improved responsiveness of the system and the space to easily manage data storage-intensive, such as videos, photos, music and games. Endurance; SanDisk SSD G4 offers long-term data Endurance (LDE) 160 terabytes written (TBW) for a 256 GB drive, enough for over 10 years of PC usage4, well beyond the length of a user typical property of a computer.
Page based on the algorithm, to accelerate the performance and extend endurance drive, the G4 uses ExtremeFFS SSD, an algorithm based on the page that greatly increases random write speed and efficiency. This implementation allows AFM G4 SSD drive unique balance between fast performance and endurance in the long term. Flexible form factors, SanDisk offers form factors tailored to meet the stringent OEM requirements, enabling thinner and lighter notebook designs that can be done using a standard disk drive.
“The improved user experience and a long-term reliability are two qualities of SSD directly affect the end user and ultimately represent what consumers care about,” said Jeff Janukowicz, research manager, players solid state, IDC. “Solid state drives as the G4 SanDisk SSD optimize around real usage scenarios and device endurance, as opposed to only sufficient level measurement device should provide a better indication performance in real time. “
High capacity, Tiny Footprint, with capacities ranging from 8GB to 128GB, the drive allows OEMs to identify small storage devices with a large hard disk that bulky is not an option. The SanDisk drive is available in different form factors that include a new variant of the ultra-compact module MSAT, MSAT Mini, with dimensions of 26.80 x 30.00 x 3.4 mm. It is SanDisk less form factor module SATA. Performance; SanDisk AFM implementation for SanDisk SSD uses P4 NCACHE acceleration technology, significantly reducing the non-volatile cache technology that increases performance in random write burst to shorten lead times, helping to prevent ” stall “and” hiccups “and the responsiveness of the system increases. The SanDisk SSD delivers performance P4 4KB random burst of up to 600 IOPS. Multiple applications; P4 SanDisk SSD is ideal for use in small devices such as netbooks, SmartBooks, tablet PCs and ultra-thin notebooks, as well as POS terminals, set top boxes (STB), printers and other devices that use Flash integrated.
