SanDisk Corporation yesterday unveiled a solid-state storage solution that works in conjunction with a PC's hard drive to store and launch the computer's operating system and software applications.

The new SanDisk VaulterTM Disk tag teams with the hard drive to provide enhanced performance over a PC that has only a hard drive. Both vaulter and the hard drive are integrated into the PC and operate simultaneously, while maintaining a low cost per gigabyte.

The SanDisk Vaulter Disk was honoured during a press conference at CES Unveiled, where the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) announced its 2008 Innovations Design and Engineering awards for products that will debut at International CES® in Las Vegas. Judges named the SanDisk Vaulter the Best of Innovations 2008 in the Enabling Technologies category.
