Market usage models continue to change, shifting OEM design
requirements and making SSDs the ideal storage solution for a
variety of computing and vertical markets.
SSDs for mainstream laptops and desktops
Performance driven laptops and desktops are natural benefiters
from SSDs. Unconstrained by mechanical components as the HDD, SSDs
enhance PC performance while providing long-term reliability and
endurance. SanDisk® SSDs
bring all the benefits of high performing SSDs to laptops and
desktops while also offering a variety of form factors and
capacities to choose from.
SSDs for Ultra Books:
Ultrabooks combine thinner and lighter form factors with
tablet-style features such as touch screens and instant-on
capabilities. Ultrabooks are typically less than 20mm (0.8 inch)
thick and are lighter than most existing laptops. SSDs fit
perfectly within the Ultrabook specifications as they enable thin
and light designs as well as high SATA performance. SanDisk SSDs are an ideal fit
for ultrabook designs. Not only are they offered in thin and small
form factors but they also deliver high SATA 6 Gb/s performance and
optimized power management allowing for innovative designs,
enhanced user experience and longer battery life.

SSDs for tablets:
More and more users look for their tablets to provide productivity
performance enabling features such as faster downloads,
multitasking capabilities and a faster gaming experience. OEMs are
looking to provide consumers with such high performance, without
having to sacrifice mobility attributes such as power consumption
and battery life or the thin and slick tablet designs. SSDs are an
ideal fit for such storage requirements. SanDisk SSDs introduce
innovative and small form factors, allowing thinner tablet designs,
coupled with high SATA performance. In addition, their unique power
management features enable OEMs to optimize battery life while
still meeting demanding performance requirements evolving in the
market.
SSDs for Dual Drive Platforms
In some case, a full-fledged SSD storage solution is not the right
solution from a cost perspective for PC OEMs and motherboard
makers. In these situations, adding a low capacity SSD, in addition
to the HDD, will significantly boost the system performance and
provide an overall attractive solution. SanDisk's SSDs are offered in a
wide capacity range, with as low as 8 GB, available at an
attractive cost. With the added values of high SATA performance and
low power consumption, they are a great fit for the dual drive
market.
SSDs for vertical markets
SSDs are a great storage solution for a variety of markets that
affect millions of lives every day. Point of Sales, Set Top Boxes,
ATMs and Printers, to name a few, are all devices that benefit from
the high performance, reliability and durability of flash
technology, enabled by SSDs. Unconstrained by mechanical latencies
and fragility of the Hard Disk Drive, SSDs can enhance the
performance, design and operation of all these devices. Read more
