InnoDisk SATADOM, Ultra Micro SSD, A Brand New Concept of Storage Application InnoDisk SATADOM, Ultra Micro SSD, A Brand New Concept of Storage A

On May 20 2009, Innodisk Corporation is announcing the world's smallest, ultra micro, SATADOM- i100. It is only about 15% of size of general 2.5 "SSD, but the maximum capacity is up to 64GB. The data transfer rate of i100 is 100MB/s which are twice faster than traditional hard disk data transfer rate. Innodisk plans to launch another technical breakthrough product with supports capacity up 256GB with ultra fast data transfer rate of 160MB/s in Q4 2009. This Miniature SSD solution, i-160, developed by Innodisk R & D team, is specially focusing on miniature PC market (as known as Net PC) such as Nvidia Ion solution.

Richard Lee, Chairman of InnoDisk, said that although this is a very small product but a big leap for storage application. It is gradually replacing the traditional SSD in the process of HDD with a major breakthrough. in addition to easily distinguish between the three major characteristics, including small size, great capacity and high speed, the end-user in the installation of traditional HDD and SSD are required to use a screwdriver to lock the hard disk in the chassis. Innodisk SATADOM requires no tool for installation; simply plug into SATA connector and done. The true Plug & Play minimalist drastically reduce the use of traditional installation method in the psychological barrier. Our goal and marketing strategic is not going to "replace" the existing traditional HDD or SSD, but rather to search for co-existence with the HDD in the market, nanoSSD can be high SSD reliability and high-speed advantages, as a computer system OS Drive or game drive, co-exist with traditional HDD as a mass data storage purpose.

Richard also states that SATADOM design is developed in full consideration of the special needs for industrial fields, the miniaturization of solid-state disk products are among the most widely used in the Industrial PC, Thin client, Set Top Box, Game Console, POS, Communication devices, and Military devices. Since 2008, SATA storage products have become more and more popular compared to PATA (IDE). There are 5 key points to make a good and reliable Flash Memory Module: power source, volume, capacity, speed and connector binding reliability followed by industry standard and regulation. However, SATA interface has its limitations inherently, some pluses and some minuses. However, Innodisk has solution for keep all 5 key points in balance by two exclusive innovations, Innodisk SATADOM Power Build-In Technology and Safe Mounting Technology. Unlike other SATA devices, Innodisk SATADOM supports Pin 7 build in power supply. With this function, a power cable is not required. Installation is as easy as USB drives

In data security, SATADOM uses average erase static algorithms in firmware design, so every blocks of NAND Flash will be read and write equally. Therefore, the product life time will be optimized. With SMART function, product life can be expected to make your data even more secure. There is another unique function, quick erase, is special design for military application purpose. Data will be completely erased within xx second with no trace back. SSD could be widely using on data storage solution; from the general use of Desk Top PC to very special military applications. The current market size of traditional HDD is about 50 billion U.S. dollars annually, if innodisk could get a 1 percent market share of data storage market by SATADOM, the contribution of its turnover amounted will be16.5 billion Taiwan dollars; we do see the market potential of SATADOM.
