These solutions range from the most advanced solid state disk products and subsystems for both airborne and rugged, reliable portable computing use, to the support of critical legacy defence systems with enhanced tape and disk drive hardware emulators. Reactive provide dedicated high performance data storage solutions to primary defence contractors and government agencies with unique applications.

The new CF5000 industrial grade fast compact flash device may be used with our latest reactive SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 hard disk emulator (bridge to flash), for upgrading critical legacy defence systems that depend on unreliable and often obsolete tape and rotating magnetic disk drives. The SANDISK SSD5000 UATA (PATA) and SATA product range for rugged laptops is used by DELL, HP, and IBM, and approved by Microsoft WHQL for Vista. Embedded 20 second irrevocable security erase and seven selectable sanitisation, declassification protocols (“Classic” product range only).

Lower cost of ownership in critical applications.Rugged, 1,000G versus 250G for a typical HDD.Minimum 30% wider temperature range than HDDs Environmental tolerance (three temperature grades to full Mil-std 810F -40deg to +85degC operating).Enhanced reliability (2,000,000 hr MTBF seven times the true MTBF of hard disk drives).Maximum product life (up to 30 years and at least three times the life of an HDD), no “Blue Screen of Death” failures.Improved speed (seek time and data transfer rate) two times the speed of 7200 rpm Seagate HDD 65 times the IOPS (Vista OS).Reduced power requirement by a factor of 2.5 over an equivalent HDD (20/30 minutes extended laptop battery life – a green solution).SANDISK’s SSD 5000 series SSD products are superior to hard disks (HDD) in all the criteria now important in all critical applications, namely:

We expect to be able to offer further secure versions of SANDISK’s Solid State Disk (SSD) product range for embedded laptop and mobile tablet computer use, but this is only one reason to consider the use of SSD’s to replace hard disks: The use of the “Cruzer” should end the threat of ’embarrassing’ headlines once and for all.
