WD 64 Layer 3D NAND Client SSD Now Available

Western Digital announces the availability of the WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD and SanDisk Ultra 3D SSD in Malaysia. Both the solutions are the first client solid state drives built with the 64-layer 3D NAND technology. The new SSDs will deliver lower power consumption and higher performance, endurance and capacities.

Targeting DIY enthusiasts, resellers and system builders, the WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSDs boast an industry-leading 1.75M hours MTTF (Mean Time to Failure). It also come wit the quality backing of WD Functional Integrity Testing Lab (F.I.T. Lab) certification.

The SanDisk Ultra 3D SSDs are intended for gaming and creative enthusiasts who want to improve their PCs. The product delivers enhanced endurance and reliability, no-wait boot-up, shorter application load times, and quicker data transfer.

After the acquisition of Sandisk, WD has continued to push products under the Sandisk brand. Although spec by spec both Sandisk and WD SSDs are exactly the same, manufactured in the same production line; WD continues to target consumers who were loyal to the brand.
