SanDisk SSD for New Fujitsu Ultrabooks …

SanDisk Corporation announced that Fujitsu Ltd. has selected the SanDisk iSS integrated storage device for use in the new Fujitsu LIFEBOOK lineup of ultrabook computers.

The 32GB iSSD provides fast, reliable storage in the Fujitsu LIFEBOOK U772, UH772 and UH572 models, which Fujitsu just introduced. iSSD technology is combined with Condusiv Technologies ExpressCache software in the new LIFEBOOK computers to deliver improved system performance. This software and hardware combination reduces system startup and application loading times to deliver a better overall user experience.

"The LIFEBOOK product line is the result of Fujitsu’s consistent focus on innovation and design," said Susumu Nikawa, VP, Personal Computing Div. 1, Personal Systems Business Unit, Fujitsu. "SanDisk’s iSSD allows us the flexibility to deliver a compelling product with the performance and design features that will make the LIFEBOOK a successful entrant in the ultrabook market."

The iSSD device and Condusiv caching software used in the LIFEBOOK line stores data that is most frequently accessed. Because this caching approach works alongside the computer’s HDD, system performance is improved while maintaining the larger storage capacities of HDDs. SanDisk holds an exclusive license to sell ExpressCache software as a standalone product and in combination with its SSD-based storage solutions.

"The new LIFEBOOK products are strong additions to the ultrabook category, and the SanDisk iSSD helps deliver a fast, enjoyable user experience in these mobile computing products," said Kevin Conley, SVP and GM, Client Storage Solutions, SanDisk. "SSD-based cache storage solutions provide performance advantages at reasonable cost, which should help drive market adoption for the Ultrabook category."

SanDisk iSSD drives meet the needs of mobile computing OEMs for delivering a balance of performance, low power, sleek form factor, reliability and low cost to adhere to ultrabook design requirements.
