BiTMICRO NETWORKS Strengthens Data Storage Presence With World's First 2.5-Inch EIDE Solid State Flash Disk.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 22, 2000 E-Disk ATE25 is Designed for Performance-Sensitive Portable Computing Devices and Embedded Systems Responding to the IT community's increasing demand for high performance solid state storage solutions, BiTMICRO NETWORKS introduced today the latest addition to their product line of record-breaking solid state storage solutions characterized by similarly compelling capacity and performance features -- the E-Disk ATE25. Designed for demanding performance-class portable computing devices and embedded systems, the E-Disk ATE25 packs 4.3 GBytes of flash storage devices in a 2.5-inch form factor. The ATE25 achieves phenomenal sustained read and write transfer rates of over 9 MBytes per second with burst read and write transfer rates of 11.1 MBytes per second and an astounding storage system access time of less than 0.2 ms. "Continuing our commitment to the needs of the value-segment of the solid state storage market, we are bringing a unique blend of capacity, performance, and affordability to our customers," said Sal Ghalya, BiTMICRO's marketing and sales account executive. "Our ATE25 is an excellent choice for portable telecommunications, medical, multimedia, video and audio editing, and other embedded systems industry's growing upgrade market." An E-Disk ATE25 requires a single input voltage of 5.0 volts. A 4.3 GByte E-Disk's typical power consumption is merely 3 watts during maximum read and write operations, 0.7 watts on standby, and 0.3 watts on sleep mode. The device temperature rise is negligible; thus, there is no need for forced ventilation.
