Innodisk Announces SATA nanoSSD Capable of 480MB/s Performance

Innodisk, designers and manufacturers of commercial and industrial SSDs, is announcing release of the world’s first SATA device that meets SATA uSSD standards — the nanoSSD.  By integrating a control chip, flash memory and peripheral power components into an individual ball grid array (BGA) package, Innodisk has realized a reduction in the size of the nanoSSD to almost 1% of the size of a standard 2.5″ SSD.  Coming in at a mere 16mm X 20mm X 2mm (W X L X H) and weighing only 1.5g, it is available in SATAIII-supported capacities from 4GB to 64GB.

Offering both x86 and ARM compatibility, Innodisk’s nanoSSD can incorporate into a broad range of applications where high transfer rates and small form factor are required, such as industrial mobile devices, embedded systems, tablets, ultrabooks and high-end smartphones.  In addition to its miniaturized form factor, integration of DRAM into the BGA enables the nanoSSD to achieve high read/write speeds of 480 and 175 MB/s, respectively.

Innodisk’s nanoSSD is designed according to MO-276 standards, which is the JEDEC standard for microSSDs.  It is fully compatible with the industrial-embedded industry’s standards, including for thermal sensor implementation, -40 to +85 degrees Celsius operating temperature range, shock-resistance, ATA security and military (MIL-STD-810F/G) compliant for quick erase standards.  Innodisk, via its own in-house R & D, provides application-specific firmware design and optimization.

The Innodisk nanoSSD is to be officially launched at a seminar in TAIPEI on May 30, 2013. The Innodisk nanoSSD press release and official launch seminar details can be viewed here.
