 Solid State and Yummy Need something to replace that hot little WD Raptor drive spinning away inside your rig? Solid State drives are the next hottest thing coming to your PC now. We recently reported that manufacturers where looking to take this technology to consumers and steal some of the market share from existing hard drives. Well it looks like the talented folks over at Super Talent have done just that.
Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of DRAM memory modules and flash
products, recently announced a full range of Solid State Disk (SSD) drives with an
industry standard Serial ATA interface.
This new line of SATA
drives is offered in industry standard 1.8-inch, 2.5-inch, and 3.5-inch form
factors, making these drives 100% compatible with conventional hard disk drives.
However, these products are built with only solid state Flash components. Since
they contain no moving parts, SSD drives have the advantage of being far more
rugged and reliable than regular hard drives, while using 85% less power.
Moreover, because SSD drives are built using Flash technology, they offer
sequential transfer speed comparable to magnetic drives and dramatically faster
access speed. Super Talents 1.8-inch SATA drives are offered in up to
32GigaByte capacities; 2.5-inch drives are available in up to 64GigaBytes; and
for high capacity requirements Super Talent offers a 128GigaByte 3.5-inch
drive.
This new generation of SSD drives delivers
all the benefits of Flash based storage rugged reliability, low power
consumption and fast access speed. But weve engineered these drives to offer
twice the data throughput at half the cost per gigabyte compared to the first
SSD drives we introduced a year-ago. stated Joe James, Marketing Director at
Super Talent Technology.
