Active Media Products Shipping Tiny 1.8-Inch PATA ZIF SSD
The SaberTooth ZF, 128GB at $349
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on February 1, 2011 at 3:09 pmActive Media Products LLC is shipping what may be the world’s fastest 1.8" ZIF drive designed to boost storage performance in laptop upgrades.
The new SaberTooth ZF
from AMP is an industry standard 40-pin PATA ZIF SSD, available in
32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities, that offers better performance than a
PATA drive, with sequential transfer speeds up to 130MB/sec.
The SaberTooth ZF will improve bootup and application load times
compared to conventional ZIF hard disk drives. It incorporates the new EastWho IDE controller, which features garbage collection, wear leveling and bad block management, combined with reliable MLC NAND flash.
The ZF was designed specifically for laptop upgrades, and includes a
mini screwdriver and installation guide. It measures 2.8 x 2.1 x 0.2
inches (70 x 54 x 5 mm) and uses an industry standard PATA ZIF interface
so it is interchangeable with standard 1.8-inch ZIF HDDs.
Active Media Products VP of Sales, Jerry Thomson said:" The
SaberTooth ZF may be the fastest available upgrade for a ZIF hard drive.
This drive will dramatically improve the responsiveness of compatible
laptops. In fact, there’s no better way to upgrade the performance of a
sluggish laptop than with the SaberTooth ZF."
AMP’s SSD Selector Guide provides a list of compatible laptops. The ZF
is available now in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities through Amazon or
directly through the company’s web site.
