155GB Flash harddrive from BitMicro

Flashmemory in the form of harddrives seems to be quite popular at the moment and we can hardly comlpain about BitMicros timing when it now launches its flashbased Solid State harddrive with the Ultra320 SCSI interface. The harddrive is called E-Disk 3S320 and the special about this specific drive is that it is branded “military-grade”. It has namely been developed for use within the military and is suppose to be able to handle extreme conditions. E-Disk Ultra320 SCSI will among other be able to work at temperatures from -60 degrees Celcius up to +95 Celsius, while handling forces up to 1500 G.

“This pure solid state/non-volatile drive is OS independent and is targeted to provide up to 42 microsecond access time, 12,500 IOPS (max) and 2 million hours MTBF. Sustained R/W rate is 44 MB/sec (max) and burst R/W rate is 320 MB/sec (max).”

The harddrive is 3.5″ and can store 155GB. That is except for being completely silent as it doesn’t contain any moving parts, thus the name Solid State, and having an accesstime at 42 microseconds. As usual when it comes to extreme flash harddrives there is no mention of the price. But the fact it was developed for military uses makes you wonder if you perhaps shouldn’t ask…
