SanDisk Corporation introduced a line of flash memory-based solid-state drives (SSDs) that are designed for an emerging new category of portable consumer electronics - called Ultra Low-Cost PCs (ULCPC) or "netbooks" - that allow users to have an enhanced experience while easily surfing the Internet using wireless communication. The SanDisk® pSSD^TM (Parallel ATA solid state drive) eliminates the need for a hard disk drive and can store both the operating system and application data for these new devices.

A pioneer in developing SSDs for laptop computers, tablet PCs and blade servers, SanDisk is making the new SSD modules available in 4-, 8- and 16-gigabyte (GB)1 capacities, with a streaming read speed of 39 megabytes per second (MB/s)2 and a streaming write performance of 17MB/s.2  Supporting both Linux and Microsoft® Windows® XP operating systems, SanDisk pSSD solid state drives are being shown this week at Computex Taipei, where SanDisk is exhibiting at Booth M320 in Nangang Exhibition Hall.
