Intel, Sandisk, TDK launch solid state drive solutions for ultra mobiles.

Posted on 03 June 2008, Last updated on 11 November 2019 by

ssdIntel have launched their 4GB and 8GB SSD modules (these aren’t drop-in drive replacements) at 1000-piece prices of $25 and $45 respectively. Although the read-speed is a usable 35MB/s, with a write speed of just 7MB/s, they’re not ideal for the pro user.

Sandisk’s offering seems to be slightly better with a ‘streaming’ write speed of 17MB/s

TDK also introduced a new SSD drive. Fantastic capacity and performance but huge cost.

I’ll stick to my CF card mod for the time being.

    Intel has Z-P140, which is another small SSD which has read and write speeds of 40MB/s and 30MB/s respectively.

    This one is Z-P230, which I think its a bunch of Z-U130 modules stuck together for capacity and put PATA interface(http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/z-u130/)

    The real one to wait for is Z-P140(http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/z-p140/index.htm)

    Z-P140: “Ultra-small package-on-package BGA solution designed with ultra-mobile platforms in mind”
