Foremay, Inc., a leader of technology innovation in solid state drives
and one of the world’s Top 10 SSD OEMs, announced shipment
of slim SSDs with standard 1.8″ micro SATA SSD interfaces. The 5mm
SSD is small in size but has high speed and high capacity. With
read/write speeds of 280 MB/s, random read/write IOPS at 4KB up to
30,000/15,000, and jumbo capacity up to 400GB, the thin SSD is the
fastest SSD in a 1.8″ form factor, and it is capable of being deployed
not only in high end laptops, but also in industrial PC, HPC and
enterprise servers.
“The length of our new 1.8″ SATA SSD is actually 7mm less than an
American Express credit card,” said Jason Hoover, Foremay’s VP
Marketing. “By offering both commercial and industrial operating
temperatures, the 1.8″ SATA SSD empowers design engineers with
great flexibility and easy use for designing the next generation of slim
and compact size computers for commercial, enterprise and industrial
applications.”
In additional to the 5mm SSD offered with its SC199 and EC188 product
families, Foremay also offers a similar design in an even thinner model
with its OC177 product family that has a thickness of only 3.3 mm.
