SanDisk to release 2nd gen SSDs for netbooks
Looking to leverage the ever growing market for netbook systems, SanDisk announced their second generation solid state drives for netbook systems at CES 2009 called the SanDisk pSSD Gen 2. These modules are designed as drop-in replacements for traditional hard drives, offering faster performance, and more reliability.
The new pSSD Gen 2 drives will be available in 8, 16, 32, and 64GB capacities and will be “aggressively priced” according to SanDisk. The drives utilize 43 nm Multi-Level Cell (MLC) flash memory produced at a fab in Yokkaichi Japan.
The pSSD Gen 2 drives will be available in February and will be sold directly to IHVs (Independent Hardware Vendors) – sorry they will not be sold directly to consumers. Hopefully this means more and more netbooks will ship with higher capacity SSDs this year.
