SanDisk Corporation, a global leader in flash memory storage solutions, today announced that Fujitsu has selected the SanDisk iSSD integrated storage device for use in the new Fujitsu LIFEBOOK™ lineup of Ultrabook™ computers.
The 32 gigabyte (GB) SanDisk iSSD provides fast, reliable storage in the Fujitsu LIFEBOOK U772, UH772 and UH572 models, which Fujitsu introduced today. SanDisk iSSD technology is combined with Condusiv™ Technologies ExpressCache® software in the new Fujitsu 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, vice president, 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 SanDisk iSSD device and Condusiv caching software used in the Fujitsu LIFEBOOK line stores data that is most frequently accessed. Because this caching approach works alongside the computer’s hard disk drive (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.
