BiTMICRO NETWORKS Unveils the World's Fastest IDE/ATA E-Disk.Business Editors/High-tech Writers SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 25, 2000 The ATI35 E-Disk(TM) is the Long Awaited IDE/ATA IDE/ATA Integrated Device Electronics/Advanced Technology Attachment (hard drive interface standard) Solid State Flash Disk for Increasing the System Performance and Reliability in Mission Critical Applications. BiTMICRO NETWORKS, Inc. proudly introduces a new product line, the ATI35 E-Disk(TM), the world's fastest IDE/ATA solid state flash disk. The ATI35 is built purposely to alleviate the performance gap between data storage and CPU speed in today's computer systems. Built on BiTMICRO NETWORKS patented FlashBus(TM) technology, the ATI35 delivers 5.2 MBytes/sec burst read and write transfer rates, over 4.5 MBytes/sec sustained read and write transfer rates, and less than 0.25 ms average access time. The ATI35 storage capacities range from 128 MBytes to 18944 MBytes in the standard 3.5&uot; form factor. The ATI35 is fully ATA (1) (AT Attachment) The specification for IDE drives. See IDE. (2) See analog telephone adapter. ATA - Advanced Technology Attachment compatible and is a quick drop-in replacement for conventional hard disk drives in systems seeking higher performance and/or reliability. The ATI35 is the newest addition to BiTMICRO NETWORKS E-Disk(TM) product family. The sustained read and write transfer rates of ATI35 are over two times faster than the closest competitors. The capacity of ATI35 is fifteen times larger than the closest competitors. The ATI35 leverages proven sophisticated hardware and software technology that BiTMICRO NETWORKS has pioneered in the solid state flash disk industry. Innovations including EDC EDC See: Export Development Corp. and sophisticated interleaved Reed-Solomon ECC (1) (Error-Correcting Code) A type of memory that corrects errors on the fly. See ECC memory. (2) (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) A public key cryptography method that provides fast decryption and digital signature processing. , dynamic remapping, proprietary wear-leveling, and fully associative caching, are optimized for use with flash memory and ensure increased data integrity, optimum system performance, and extreme device longevity. BiTMICRO NETWORKS' earlier line of SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. products has undergone extensive worldwide product qualifications testing across Windows, MacOS, and various UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). platforms including SunOS, IRIX, Linux, BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) The software distribution facility of the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) of the University of California at Berkeley. , OS/2, AIX, SCO, OSF1, and CP/M. The exceptional performance, reliability, and robustness of BiTMICRO NETWORKS E-Disk(TM) solid state flash disk has made it the data storage of choice by industries requiring high data bandwidth storage solutions that must withstand harsh environmental conditions. E-Disk(TM) is well suited for telecommunications, transportation, aerospace, military, and other industrial applications where conventional disk drives fail.
