1.8" SSD news
Below is a
sample slice of news about 1.8" SSDs. For more - see the

Hyperstone's new controller
enables low power skinny SSDs
Editor:- August 3, 2011 - Hyperstone
today introduced their new
A2
family of SSD
controllers - designed to enable physically small, very low power
consumption industrial
SATA
skinny flash
SSDs.
"Our A2 available in a 9x9x1.2mm TFBGA 201 is probably the
smallest and most power efficient 4-channel SATA controller in the market,"
said Mark
Gunyuzlu, President of Hyperstone Inc., USA. "We can now provide
SATA performance, industrial reliability and ruggedness for smaller form factor
systems without requiring any volatile memory prone to
power fail
issues. We also expect we are delivering the best possible random read/write
performance without relying on a DRAM, which is ideal for embedded applications."
SANBlaze ships PCIe to 1.8" SSD RAID adapter
June
13, 2011 - SANBlaze
Technology is shipping a new
rear
transition module which connects upto 8x
1.8" SSDs to
PCIe with
RAID options.
SMART samples 1.8" slim 64GB SLC SSDs
Editor:-
May 3, 2011 - SMART
is sampling a new 64GB 1.8"
Slim (39x54x4mm ) SATA SLC SSD for embedded applications.
The
XceedIOPS iSATA Slim has a typical power consumption of 0.5W at +5VDC and
supports automatic 5V/3.3V input power selection. R/W throughput is upto
120/115MB/s and 14K/1.4K R/W IOPS.
Because the XceedIOPS iSATA Slim SSD is designed to a
JEDEC industry standard,
SMART anticipates many OEM customers will adopt this form-factor as the platform
of choice for existing and new product development activities, said John
Scaramuzzo, SMART's Senior VP and General Manager, Storage Business Unit.
Micron Samples SATA 3.0 SSDs
Editor:- December 2,
2009 - Micron
announced it is sampling
6Gbps
SATA MLC SSDs in 1.8"
and 2.5" form
factors.
Micron's C300 SSD can achieve a read throughput speed of up
to 355MB/s and a write throughput up to 215MB/s.
Editor's
comments:- Long anticipated in StorageSearch.com's
flash SSD Roadmap -
it was inevitable that we would be seeing 6Gbps
SATA SSDs soon,
because several companies have already sampled 6Gbps
SAS SSDs which use the
same physical interface. It was simply a question of when vendors would judge
the market conditions right. (Or pre-announce them first.)
New Standard for 1.8" SSDs
Editor:- May 18,
2009 - JEDEC
today published a
new
standard for 1.8"
Slim SSDs.
MO-297 defines the dimensions, layout and connector
position for 54mm x 39mm SSDs with a standard
SATA connector.
"MO-297
is the first document to standardize a physical outline for a solid state drive.
Adoption of this standard has the potential to deliver significant benefits for
the industry by creating a single outline for storage suppliers and systems
manufacturers to use and reference," said Jim Leidy, Business Development
Manager for Tyco Electronics and
Chairman of the JEDEC Task Group behind the effort. Storage ORGs | |
