SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) today announced that Motion Computing®,
a leading manufacturer of tablet personal computers, has selected SanDisk’s
32-gigabyte (GB)1 solid state drive (SSD) for
its new F5 mobile slate tablet PC. As a significant add-on for rugged PC
users in industries such as field service, manufacturing, government and
construction, SanDisk’s SSD 5000 1.8 UATA 32GB
provides F5 users enhanced durability, higher performance and greater
power efficiency.
The announcement was made today at CeBIT, the world’s
largest trade fair showcasing digital computing solutions, where SanDisk
is exhibiting at Booth D59 in Hall 26 of the Hannover convention center.
Visitors to the booth can see the F5 tablet with the embedded SanDisk
SSD 5000 in action.
“We have selected SanDisk SSD in our new F5
because we believe it gives our users the most robust and reliable solid
state solution available in the market today for mobile Tablet PCs,”
said Michael Johnson, executive vice president of engineering at Motion
Computing. “SanDisk was among the first to
bring this innovative SSD technology to the market and it’s
that experience, and the quality of their product, that allow us to
offer the durability in the F5 that our customers demand.”
“The F5 paired with a SanDisk solid state
drive can withstand the toughest working environments,”
said Richard Heye, vice-president of SanDisk’s
SSD division. “We’re
pleased to support Motion Computing’s
commitment to the technology needs of these highly mobile users.”
Motion Computing is a leading innovator of mobile computing and wireless
communications solutions designed for the specific needs of vertical
markets. The new, semi-rugged F5 device is a balance between
commercial-grade devices and fully-rugged PCs, which have costly
features typically required in only a small percentage of field
applications.

SSD solutions including its Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)
