Sandisk on Tuesday introduced two new SSD models for ultra-thin notebooks and tablets at the ongoing Computex trade fair in Taipei. According to the company, both the u100 (for ultra-thin notebooks) and the i100 (for tablets) use the SATA III interface and boast “a low-power architecture that reduces power consumption to as low as 10mW.
The U100, which replaces Sandisk’s P4 modular SSDs, is claimed to have maximum sequential read and write speeds of 450MB/sec and 160MB/sec, respectively. Thanks to the SATA III interface, the U100 is significantly faster than its predecessor.
“The drive is available in 8GB to 256GB capacities, and OEMs, attracted to the outstanding price/performance value proposition, are already successfully integrating the new SSD into their next-generation platforms,” reads the press release announcing the new SSD models.
The i100 iSSD is, as per the company, the “smallest, fastest 128GB (SATA III) BGA-based SSD on the market.” Available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities, the i100 is said to have maximum sequential read and write speeds of 450MB/sec and 340MB/sec, respectively.
Products featuring these two SSDs are expected to arrive sometime during Q3 2011.
