- editor's comments:- July 2012 - SST makes
flash memory and
controllers and is no longer an SSD company.
But back in 2009 - SST
used to market a
PATA compatible
SSD chip with upto 8GB
capacity called the
NANDrive.
Designed for embedded applications the 12mm x 24mm LBGA package
SSD had sustained R/W
speeds upto 30MB/s and 8MB/s respectively. Security features include a factory
pre-programmed unique ID, and a user programmable ID.
In April 2010
- SST sold its SSD product line to a new startup founded by SST's founder -
called Greenliant
Systems.
And in the same month SST was acquired by Microchip
Technology.
