Aliso Viejo, Calif., November 10, 2004 -- SiliconSystems, Inc., a leading provider of solid-state storage solutions to the Enterprise System OEM market, today announced that it will offer a 5 year warranty on its entire family of standard SiliconDrive 2.5”, Module, CF and PC Card products. Customers deploying SiliconDrives that integrate SiliconSystems’ patented and patent-pending application-specific solutions for data sanitization and purge, password and write protection, or enhanced capacity and speed have the option for an extended warranty based on the application requirement.

“Field deployment and laboratory test data has proven that SiliconDrives will stand up to the most demanding applications,” explains Dave Merry, SiliconSystems’ CTO. “Since we are focused exclusively on the Enterprise System OEM market, we have always made our design choices with performance and reliability in mind.”
