… And Lenovo ThinkPad Edge Laptops

SanDisk Corporation announced that Lenovo has selected SanDisk to provide the SSD caching technology for the new Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E430 and E530 laptop computers.

The SanDisk U100 mSATA SSD is used in Lenovo’s ThinkPad Edge E430 and E530 along with Condusiv Technologies ExpressCache software.

The hardware and software combination delivers up to four times the
performance of a standalone HDD. This means that consumers and business
users will experience faster startup and application loading times
without frustrating delays.

"ThinkPad users expect a laptop that delivers everything they need to
enjoy a versatile computing experience—innovative solutions,
time-tested, intelligent design and, of course, high performance," said Luis Hernandez, VP, ThinkPad Edge Business Unit, Lenovo. "The
ThinkPad Edge E430 and E530 laptops with SanDisk’s SSD technology
exceed those expectations, particularly for small-to-medium businesses
looking for an advantage with a productivity-enhancing PC that’s equally
suited for use at home, in the office or on the road."

A 16GB U100 SSD and the caching software work alongside the HDD
in the ThinkPad Edge E430 and E530 to store data that is most frequently
accessed. This allows a boost to performance because information is
processed quickly.

"Lenovo has been great for us to work with in developing a combined
hardware and software solution that takes advantage of SanDisk’s SSD
expertise," said Kevin Conley, SanDisk SVP and GM, Client Storage Solutions. "With the ThinkPad Edge E430 and E530 Lenovo has struck a smart balance for delivering great performance at an affordable price."
