SanDisk today introduced the new SanDisk Z400s SSD, a cost effective solid-state drive (SSD) designed to replace hard-disk drives (HDDs) in computing platforms and embedded applications. The Z400s can withstand up to 1.7 million hours of continual use, delivering stability during peak activity. It is available in mSATA, 2.5" SATA and M.2 (2242 and 2280) form factors, in capacities of 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB,

SanDisk isn't disclosing the controller inside the Z400s, but it's probably a 4-channel Marvell silicon. The Z400s is also the first SSD to utilize 15nm NAND.

The Z400s is entering mass production next month with availability being later in the summer.
