Rugged & Reliable
Unlike the HDD, SanDisk uSSD 5000 solid
state drive has no moving parts. It keeps
working in challenging environments
such as classrooms, kiosks and in space-
restricted server racks. Our patented fl ash
management technology brings top data
integrity to uSSD 5000 solid state drives,
even during power loss. Dynamic bad
block management, dynamic and static
wear-leveling, and robust error detection
and correction code (EDC/ECC) ensure
data reliability.
High Performance
SanDisk uSSD 5000 solid state drives
achieve a sustained read speed as high as
31 MB/sec and a sustained write speed of
up to 24 MB/sec with single-level cell (SLC)
technology.
Cost Effective
Why pay for more capacity than you need?
uSSD 5000 solid state drives let you
purchase just the right amount, packed
inside a memory device that’s one-quarter
the size of the 1.8” HDD. It offers you the
choice of SLC fl ash technology or the cost-
effective multi-level cell (MLC) technology.
SanDisk uSSD™ 5000 solid state drive takes
the benefi ts of fl ash to new markets with

with an advanced controller that represents
the company’s years of USB expertise.
