First 1TB single-sided solid-state drive for read-intensive and boot / logging

Announced as the world's first 1TB single-sided solid-state drive MSC now offers the SanDisk X400 SSD which is SanDisk's upper-tier SATA client SSD, driving mainstream adoption in computing platforms. It is designed with SanDisk's nCache 2.0 Technology provides greater reliability and high-grade endurance for longevity. Additionally, the X400 can be successfully used in entry-level enterprise servers, typically for read-intensive and boot / logging applications. The X400 SSD is available with a 1.5mm single-sided form factor M2 (2280) and in 2.5-inch 7mm-height as a true drop in replacement for mechanical HDDs. Both form factors are available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB1 capacities. The X400 features nCache 2.0 technology, which boosts performance for fast burst and high sustained sequential write speeds. The unit's multi-tiered caching architecture uses a combination of SLC and TLC blocks to maximize read / write operations and improve responsiveness and longevity, making it the ideal storage solution for multi-tasking and heavy workloads, says the company.
