SanDisk Corporation today introduced its latest solid state drive (SSD) products. The SanDisk® SSD G4 serves as a drop-in replacement for hard disk drives (HDD) in notebooks; while the SanDisk® SSD P4, the successor to the widely used pSSD modular drive, enables designers to offer even thinner netbook and tablet computers.
The new drives offer a unique balance of performance, high-capacity storage and long-term reliability. SanDisk SSD P4 and SanDisk SSD G4 offer up to 128 gigabytes (GB) and 256GB of storage respectively, double the capacities of the company's previous SSD offerings. The drives are available in various compact form factors, which SanDisk can customize according to manufacturers' specification, offering greater freedom and flexibility in how OEMs design their products. The SSDs use SanDisk's advanced 32-nanometer (nm) multi-level cell (MLC) process technology, which enables cost-competitive high-capacity storage with a tiny footprint.

Pretec, the leader of the highest capacity (128GB) CF card, fastest CF card (667X), and first SDXC card in the world, announces P240 USB 3.0 High-Speed Multi-Card Reader, the 1st USB 3.0 card reader in the world supporting high-performance SDXC, CF and other major memory cards. A provider of “Cool Memories, the Ultimate in Style & Speed,” Pretec offers a full series of high-performance card readers in the world to be shown at Pretec booth at Computex Taipei 2010.
With interface speed of 5Gb/s (or 625MB/s, 10X faster than USB 2.0), USB 3.0 has solved the speed bottleneck for high speed memory card data transfer. Today’s high speed memory card can reach to >50MB/s for SDXC (Pretec SDXC card, also introduced today), >100MB/s for CF card (Pretec 567X/667X 128GB CF card, announced last week), >300MB/s for SSD (Pretec P4000 SATA II SSD, announced last week), all above have far exceeded the transfer speed of USB 2.0 (theoretical data is 60MB/s, and practical maximum is around 40MB/s) and hence much need the 10X speed enhancement of USB 3.0.
