2.5-Inch SATA SSD From Pretec Up to 192GB

Pretec, the creator of highest capacity CF card in the world (48GB) and the fastest CF card in the world (333X) debuts the patent-pending technology of Q-SATA 192GB, the highest capacity 2.5” SATA flash disk in the world with the most versatile user choices, at Computex Taipei 2008.

Pretec’s Solid State Disk (SSD) features better reliability, faster speed, remarkable shock resistance and low power consumption than traditional hard drives, and hence provides significant reliability and performance upgrades for industrial applications. Yet the huge capacity choices from 1GB to more than 128GB and the dilemma of adopting SLC or MLC flash in ever changing technologies with reliability, performance and cost trade-off, there’s no easy answer today for even an acceptable choice. Pretec’s patent-pending Q-SATA technology solves the problem by plugging up to 4 pieces of CF card into the 2.5” SATA flash drive with up to 4-channel operation to achieve the high speed of up to 60MB/s. This complete modular design is the 1st in the industry and allows users to easily config the capacity of their choice and later change the capacity anytime; adopt MLC or SLC of their choice and can change anytime as they wish; ease greatly with RMA and repair which most likely is a simple task of changing one CF card; and to the dealers, distributors and Pretec, drastically reduces the inventory cost and risk.

Combined with Pretec’s breakthrough in 48GB CF card, Q-SATA capacity can achieve up to 192GB based on MLC flash technology; Q-SATA can have better reliability and faster speed if adopting Pretec’s 333X CF card (up to 24GB now).  Pretec Q-SATA is the obvious and logical choice to many users with ultimate flexibility in mind.

Pretec 192GB Q-SATA SSD

Other than Q-SATA, Pretec’s SATA SSD products include M-SATA for high performance, capacity up to 128GB which is SLC based high speed (up to 65MB/s), high reliability SATA SSD for industrial applications; and S-SATA for affordability, capacity up to 48GB which plugs in only one CF card to the 2.5” SATA drive, speed up to 35MB/s. S-SATA shares the modular design and flexibility of Q-SATA with economical single-channel operation and less capacity.

The comprehensive offerings of M-SATA, Q-SATA and S-SATA SSD from Pretec tailor the need of different desirable features of SSD with great flexibility and user choices. The ‘Double-Fast’ capability of Q-SATA, the fastest CF card in the world plugs in the fast SATA system modular design, and the ‘Double-Reliable’ strength of Q-SATA, the rugged CF card with metal casing plugs in the rugged metal 2.5” SATA housing, together with the ultimate flexibility, making Pretec Q-SATA to be the clear choice of best C/P (Cost/Performance) value in the SSD industry.
