A-DATA is one out of many manufacturers at CES that displayed products using flash memory for storage. Flash-based harddrives, or so called Solid State Drives, is something we’ve been covering a lot recently and the interest for a mechanical harddrive is constantly growing. During CES A-DATA has presented its latest creations on the SSD market and among others you could find a 2.5″ model with a 128GB storage capacity. In other words, four times the capacity of Samsung’s and SanDisk’s harddrives and twice that of PQI’s recently launched SSD unit. The 2.5″ model use the regular SATA-II interface and it is counting on starting the mass production during the first or second quarter of 2007.
It hasn’t revealed any prices yet, but A-DATA seems to be having a sturdy SSD family coming, in various shapes and sizes. We’re looking forward to some more detailed specifications for these and not the least some more concrete benchmarks.
