SanDisk Unveils Half-Terabyte Computing SSD

28 April 2016

SanDisk Corp. has introduced a cost-competitive, half-terabyte solid state drive (SSD) designed in a slim form factor for mainstream computing platforms.


The 15-nanometer, three-bits-per-cell Z410 SSD supports capacities up to 480GB (but also is available in 120GB and 240GB) and features an SLC cache, which is a combination of SLC and TLC blocks to maximize read and write speeds. This form factor and capacity leads the SSD to work with computing platforms from desktop PCs, to laptops, to all-in-one computers.
