SanDisk Provides SSDs for Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon

SanDisk Corporation is providing Lenovo the SSD used in the
new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, the lightest 14-inch ultrabook
computer.

It weighs in at less than three pounds, has
an exterior made of lightweight carbon fiber material, boasts optional embedded
3G connectivity Internet access, and relies on a 256GB
SanDisk X100 SSD for responsive, small form factor storage. The version of the
X100 SSD being used by Lenovo relies on a custom design that is smaller
than the typical SSD, helping to reduce both the size and weight of the Lenovo
X1 Carbon, as well as reducing power consumption. SanDisk offers the X100 SSD
in both 256GB and 128GB capacities.

"Lenovo’s leadership pioneering the X1 Carbon pushes the
envelope in terms of bringing ‘no compromise performance’ to an extremely thin,
light and connected form factor," said Tom Butler, director Worldwide
ThinkPad Product Marketing, Lenovo. "Collaborating with SanDisk has
helped us enable the ThinkPad X1 Carbon’s design."

"The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is stunning both in terms of
its aesthetics as well as its capabilities," said Kevin Conley, SVP
and GM, Client Storage Solutions, SanDisk. "Our custom version of the
SanDisk X100 SSD helps Lenovo deliver high-capacity and high-performance
storage for this innovative Ultrabook product."
