Super Talent is one of the leading makers of flash-based products, including solid-state drives, computer memory modules and other flash-based storage solutions. Earlier this month, the company introduced a new line of mini PCI-Express SSDs, specifically designed for ASUS Eee PC netbook systems, offering 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. It now appears that Super Talent has extended its lineup of small-sized drives with the addition of the new 0.85-inch and 1.0-inch SSDs, which have been designed using Intel's NAND Flash-based solid state drive technology.

 

“Super Talent’s goal is to offer a comprehensive range of solid-state storage devices that are adaptable to every form factor and interface. We understand that each sector of the market has different storage requirements, and we’re developing SSDs that are tailor made for each sector. This line of ultra small SSDs not only positions Super Talent as a leader in storage miniaturization, it represents an excellent range of storage solutions for the UMPC market.” explained Mr. CH Lee, Super Talent's COO.

 

Super Talent's new SSD offerings are based on the Z-P140 SSD from Intel, which is basically a NAND-based storage solution that combines a controller with a single level cell memory. The new SSDs from Super Talent have been designed for use in UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) and DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) devices. The design features on the new Super Talent SSDs enable the maker to claim its latest product as being among the world's tiniest SSDs.

 

Heading on to the technical specifications of the new storage solutions, you should know that the 0.85-inch models are only available in 2GB and 4GB capacities, while the 1-inch ones range from 2GB to 8GB, in terms of storage capacity. All of them, however, come with a 40/30 MB/sec Read/Write speed specification.

 

Unfortunately, Super Talent hasn't specified any other technical details on the new additions.
