SanDisk Introduces World’s Smallest 64GB SSD – Embedded On Tablet & Ultra-Thin Netbooks

SanDisk is introducing what they claim is the world’s smallest 64GB SSD drive for use on tablet and ultra-thin netbooks. The interesting part is that this new SSD will be embedded on the device which can eliminate or supplement the traditional mechanical hard disk.  In their recent press release SanDisk states the following information about the new SSD:

Computing platforms are responding to consumer demand for highly portable, ultra-thin, anywhere-anytime access to the Internet and their favorite content. The SanDisk SSD drive is the first flash SSD device to support the industry standard SATA interface in a small BGA (Ball Grid Array) package that can be soldered onto any motherboard, and that is fast enough for use with advanced operating systems in next-generation mobile computing platforms.

“The new category of embedded SSDs should enable OEMs to produce tablets and notebooks with an unprecedented combination of thin, lightweight form factors and fast performance,” said Doron Myersdorf, senior director, SSD marketing, SanDisk.

“With our embedded flash storage leadership, SanDisk believes it is uniquely positioned to deliver the ultra compact SSD solutions needed by OEMs.”

Wow! This SSD appears to be smaller than a postage stamp. The future is looking brighter for smaller devices coming our way.

Comments welcome.
