Anyone heard of iSSD?

(1/3) > >>

Freedom Kira:
New technology created by SanDisk, a tiny chip of a(n) SSD. It was announced on Wednesday, August 18th, 2010. I stumbled upon the article linked from this page.

Specs (what I could gather):
Size: 4-64GB
Speeds: ~160MBps read, ~100MBps write
Interface is SATA, but different somehow... not many details given
Physical size: 16mm x 20mm x 1.85mm
Weight/mass: <1g

Thoughts?

METALINGUS:
looks promising so far

bork:
Think its meant to be a small form factor storage device were the device does not have room for a disk drive.

Concur. I also think it's more for the smart phone market atm than a proper notebook than can actually afford a true SSD.

iindigo:
I could also see these things being used in portable music players where size and form factor are major concerns (i.e. the customer is looking for a small device with a decent capacity).
