Skinny Disk

Only 5mm in height, lighter and power efficient, SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 1.8" is the ideal storage mate for thin & light and ultra mobile laptops. It takes capacity a step further, too, with up to 72 gigabytes*.

Add to this the native ruggedness of flash-only storage and performance that has been specially tuned for Microsoft® Vista, and you have one, special solid state drive. Just what corporate laptop users have been waiting for.

Smaller, Lighter and High Capacity

SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 1.8" has been trimmed down in size and weight to fit inside new, sleek laptops. It measures only 5mm in height, and weighs less than 45 grams. As proof that good things truly do come in small packages, SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 1.8" is available in capacities as high as 72 gigabyte, suited for hard-working corporate laptop users.

Advanced Power Modes

SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 1.8" saves on power. With advanced power modes, it reduces power consumption when inactive to extend the laptop battery life.

High Reliability

Our 5th generation SSD, SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 1.8" is based on technology that has been field-proven for over a decade in the harshest of environments. It uses NAND flash enhanced by our patented SanDisk flash management technology. SanDisk SSD delivers an outstanding two million hour mean time to failure (MTTF)¹. This superior level results in reduced tangible costs, such as IT labor costs, while also decreasing intangible costs associated with inaccessible data.

High Performance

Using a SATA II interface and an industry standard micro SATA connector, SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 1.8" has been especially designed to cater to laptop users. With no mechanical moving parts and therefore no latency and negligible access time, SanDisk SSD SATA 1.8" 5000 achieves a sustained read rate of 66 megabyte (MB)1/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. SanDisk SSD achieves an average file access rate of 0.1 milliseconds.³
