SanDisk® Vaulter Disk
High Performance with
Parallel Transactions
Low Cost per GB
SanDisk® Vaulter™ Disk,
a flash-based PCI Express
Vaulter Disk heightens user responsiveness when ran-
domly accessing many small files. Users can feel the
difference in speed both when performing repeated
operations, such as opening frequently used applica-
tions, as well as for unexpected behavior, such as
retrieving new applications or entries on the Internet.
(PCIe) module tucked
away inside a consumer
laptop, represents a new
system approach to high-
performance and high-
capacity data storage.
Enhanced Performance with
Enabled by predefined
Parallel Transactions
SanDisk software scripts,
Unlike caching solutions that are based on serial
transactions, Vaulter Disk consistently boosts the
speed of data retrieval using parallel transactions.
Vaulter Disk cleverly con-
trols the distribution of
storage data between itself and a high-capacity hard
disk drive (HDD). All personal data and program files
are stored on the HDD, while in parallel the Windows
operating system (OS) is stored on Vaulter Disk.
Vaulter Disk operates in parallel to the HDD to opti-
mize data transfer to the host. Vaulter Disk handles
small Read files, representing the majority of system
file transfers. The HDD handles application files and
user data.
This unique storage concept transparently speeds
up data retrieval for boot and application load
operations, as well as for unexpected user access
to new files.
When loading a typical application such as Microsoft®
Word, for instance, Vaulter Disk reads the thousands
of small OS kernel files while the HDD reads the
hundreds of heavy program and data files. This
parallel activity boosts Read performance by over
25% as compared with a HDD-only configuration.
Main Features and Benefits
High User Responsiveness
Vaulter Disk was designed with consumer laptop
users in mind. It consistently boosts user responsive-
ness by taking advantage of the best, native charac-
teristics of the flash-based Vaulter Disk and the HDD.
At the same time, it enables users to enjoy high-
capacity HDD storage at a low cost per Gigabyte.
High Reliability
SanDisk patented flash management technology
brings top data reliability to Vaulter Disk, even during
power loss.
