SSD upgrade kit brings lasting performance to Netbooks

Important Garbage Collection feature now available for Netbooks

 

San Jose, California – January 4, 2011 – Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced their new GW-Series, Mini PCle & Half Mini PCle, SSDs. Featuring an IDE/PATA interface and Mini PCIe based form factors, these new SSDs are a drop-in replacement for many popular netbook PC’s.

 

Offering a smaller size, reduced weight, and improved performance; embedded SSDs have been very popular in ultra-portable Netbook designs. Initial embedded SSDs drew great praise for their performance but also some scrutiny because they did not include Garbage Collection, a feature available on many larger form factor SSDs to maintain their optimum performance by refreshing data blocks marked as invalid and making them ready to be rewritten quickly and efficiently.

 

“SuperTalent is focused on creating products to meet the real needs of real customers. Adding GC to embedded PCI SSD designs has been something the Netbook market has been demanding for quite some time. We are pleased to offer this to our customers”., said Super Talent COO, CH Lee.
