PNY SSD 2.5” is available in capacities up to 128-gigabyte (GB)* of
flash memory and is a drop-in replacement for the traditional hard disk
drive. PNY SSD 2.5” is available with either the Parallel ATA (PATA)
interface with 44-pin IDE connector or Serial ATA (SATA) interface with
SATA connector. Offered in standard or industrial temperature ranges,
the PNY SSD 2.5” is ideal for a wide range of applications in both
SMART designs and manufactures true industrial grade storage products in a variety of form factors and capacities. Manufactured to need the needs of the most demanding applications, SMART’s Flash based Serial ATA (SATA), Parallel ATA (PATA) and SCSI Solid State Drives (SSDs) deliver high-performance and low power consumption solutions for aerospace, industrial automation, transportation, medical, defense, and telecommunication industries.
- All the Benefits of Flash in a Cost-Effective PATA Module
SanDisk
has expanded its flash-based solid state drive (SSD) product family to
meet the demands of the new netbook market of ultra low cost PCs
(ULCPCs) for easy web surfing and wireless communication. SanDisk pSSD
solid state drive delivers all the benefits of flash to these small
computing netbooks at a fraction of the cost, size and weight of the
hard disk drive (HDD).

Back when I worked for Waferscale Integration, which was later
purchased by STMicroelectronics, the CEO Mike Callahan allegedly said
something that he likely hoped everyone would later forget. You see, he
was originally against using flash memory in what would later become the company's Programmable System
Device SoCs because he felt the technology was never going to
make it. Well, as the story goes, some people whom have since gone on to such prominent Flash companies as SanDisk, apparently convinced him otherwise.
I think it's quite safe to say they made the correct decision as Flash has indeed "made it" many times over. Last year, according to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the worldwide Flash market exceeded the $22 Billion mark. Ah how CEO hindsight can always seem to be traced back to Foot in Mouth Disease.
