SanDisk® Z400s : Cost Effective and Reliable HDD Replacement

The SanDisk Z400s is a cost effective SSD designed to replace HDDs in computing platforms and embedded systems. Competitively priced, Z400s SSDs outperform HDDs by 20x and offers a 5x increase in reliability, all while consuming 20x lower average power consumption.

Highly versatile and able to accommodate a wide range of platforms, the Z400s can withstand up to 1.7 million hours of continual use and has been validated for use in several of the top OEM platforms in the industry, demonstrating its endurance and ability to sustain high-volume transactions.

Its solid-state design means there are no moving parts, making it shock-resistant and much more reliable than traditional hard disk drives, which translates into lower total cost of ownership (TCO) while offering a better end-user experience.

Companies looking to design sleek, green products will also appreciate its silent, low power, and low heat characteristics.

Lower Power Consumption

The Z400s utilizes breakthrough SanDisk technology that optimizes power consumption, making it one of the lowest power consuming SSDs at 30mW for average power. This increases the amount of usable hours per battery charge, which is essential for modern mobile devices.

Using Silicon Motion's SM2246XT controller, the Z400s offers high performance without the additional expense of a DRAM buffer. Without DRAM, the Z400s consumes very low power, a key attribute in SanDisk's mobile platform optimization.

Reliability and TCO

The SanDisk Z400s SSD can improve total cost of ownership (TCO) by reducing downtime and service requests due to hard drive failures. They also offer lower latency and greater read/write speeds over traditional HDDs, so users may experience a noticeable improvement in responsiveness.

IT departments can extend the useful life of their PC inventory by upgrading the HDDs to the Z400s SSD, thus prolonging replacement cycles and maximizing asset value.

Versatility and Endurance

The Z400s is well-suited for embedded platforms that handle frequent transactions, including but not limited to:

• ATMs and interactive kiosks used in a variety of industries, including banking, hotels, and healthcare
• POS systems in the retail, hospitality, and restaurant industries that process numerous daily transactions
• Automotive black boxes and security/surveillance systems where ruggedness, durability, and performance are critical
