Guardian Technology Platform


CloudSpeed Ascend SATA SSDs are powered by SanDisk???s proprietary Guardian Technology Platform, a suite of enterprise features that include FlashGuard, DataGuard and EverGuard technologies.



FlashGuard Technology combines Aggregated Flash Management, which treats all flash elements as a single system, and Advanced Signal Processing, which dynamically adjusts flash parameters throughout the life of the SSD, to reliably
extract significantly more life from cost-effective 19nm eMLC flash, making it suitable for read-intensive application workloads.
