PQI Announces 64GB SATA Flash SSD

15 Jan, 2007, 3:25 pm IST | Gaurav Seth | Storage

We recently witnessed the launch of the Sandisk’s 32GB SSD (Solid State Drive). Samsung and RiTek too showcased their 32GB SSDs with parallel ATA (PATA) interface. PQI has gone one step further by announcing or rather re-announcing (they had first displayed their 64GB SSD at Computex in June and were supposed to ship them in August, which never happened) their 64GB SSD’s with both SATA and PATA interfaces.


PQI’s turbo SSD will be available in sizes up to 64GB and will have a maximum transfer speed of 100MB/s. The SATA design will be of particular interest to the laptop OEM’s who have been almost stopped using PATA drives. One of the most obvious reason is that SATA drives use a much thinner data cable which is of great advantage for an already compact laptop environment.

Pricing and availability is not known as yet.
