SuperTalent launch world’s thinnest SSD drive
March 26th, 2008
The boffins over at SuperTalent have cranked out a 12.5 mm thick 2.5 inch form factor SSD with a capacity of 256 GB. With its SATA-I interface this little sucker will neatly slip into laptops sporting a HD chamber 12.5 mm wide - for those of us with a 9.5 mm wide slot, tough cookies. The drive intriguingly called FSD56GC25H sports the following bits and pieces
* 8 GB to 256 GB capacity options
* Sequential Read Rate of 65 MBps
* Sequential Write Rate of 50 MBps
* Handles shocks up to 1500G and vibrations at 16G
* Plays nicely with all OS
In another twist to this announcement the read and write speeds are nothing to write (forgive the pun) home about being outclassed by the InnoDisk SSD drive we mentioned recently which handles zeros and ones at 110 MBps and 90 MBps respectively. But of course the InnoDisk won’t slot into your laptop without the use of a large hammer.
Overall though we do take our hats off to SuperTalent, but with reservations - we’ll get really excited when they spit out a 2.5 inch drive that will fit all laptops, has super fast read/write speeds and oh yes won’t cost an arm and leg. This little sucker will set you back around US$6K - ouch! Just as well it’s only available to OEM manufacturers so the average Joe won’t be tempted.
