Advanced Media, Inc., is a manufacturer and marketer of the popular Ridata brand of recordable CD and DVD media, electronic storage products, and digital media accessories. The company announced today that during CES it will be demonstrating its non-volatile 2.5” SATA Solid State Disk (SSD) that offers via multiple drives a 260MB/s Read Speed and 130MB/s Sequential Write Speed. The faster speed Serial ATA (SATA) drive is available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities.
There will be four demos going with various 2.5 inch SATA SSD configurations:
1) One SSD SATA 2.5 inch in a laptop – displaying transfer speed.
2) Two SSD’s running in a tower PC – displaying the SSD’s access time file loading time, boot up time, and gaming performance.
3) Multiple SSDs with a performance of 128GB and up to 260MB/s and 130 MB/s sequential write speed.
4) 2.5 SATA in a mobile rack.
“Ridata SSD now supports multiple drives on a system’s main board with an on-board RAID controller. It increases storage capacity, but will also jump start performance by multiple times as well!” remarked Harvey Liu, Advanced Media President.
“iBuypower, a leading high-end gaming computer manufacturer applied this new solution to their top of line game machines. The Ridata SSD provided gamers with a blazing fast performance of 260MB/s read speed and 130MB/s write speed that enhanced the gamers’ graphical experience and game performance,” added Liu.
Inherently resistant to vibration, shock, and temperature extremes, the Ridata SSD drive is very reliable with more than 4,000,000 hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). Data integrity is further supported by static wearing leveling and Reed-Solomon ECC (RS-ECC 6/8/10 symbols). With SMART self-monitoring features and a write endurance cycle (P/E) of more than 2,000,000 times, the Ridata SSD drive is built to securely write and store critical data.
The Ridata 2.5” SATA SSD drive is a solid-state flash disk, based on NAND flash technology. It has no moving parts which allows it to be virtually silent, run cooler, and use less power than a traditional hard disk drive. It is NAND technology that provides the drive’s data transfer burst rate of up to 170MB per second.
The Ridata SSD drive provides consistent performance using single-level-chip technology. It has extremely low-power consumption compared to a traditional hard drive. The Ridata SSD is very lightweight and is ideal for performance-driven or rugged environments. Meeting bus interface industry standard Serial ATA (SATA) ensures there are no host compatibility or upgrading issues. The Ridata drive offers reliable temperature (0 to 70C) and humidity resistance, assuring long-lasting data storage. The 2.5” drives weighs 64.5 grams with dimensions of 101.85 x 69.85 x 9mm.
Because of its low-power consumption requiring only a five-volt power supply, user time on any mobile computing application is dramatically extended. With no mechanical parts, low power consumption, and minimal heat generation, the Ridata SSD drive is a natural alternative for a greener environment.
Availability
The competitively priced Ridata 2.5” SATA and the1.8” IDE – based SSD cards are available through system integrators, selected retailers, and Ridata distributors. Visit www.ritekusa.com for more information.
