San Jose, California – December 16, 2011 – Super
Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of NAND flash storage
solutions, today announced the Storage POD Mini, a portable SSD that
will change how you think about external storage.
External
hard disk drives have made it easy to back-up important data and move
data from one machine to another but its performance was limited and
always slower than an internal hard drive. Thanks to USB 3.0 and SSD
technologies, it is now possible to create a USB storage solution that
is smaller, lighter and more rugged than a traditional HDD. A blue
anodized, all-aluminum enclosure enables this drive to be both
lightweight and rugged yet measure a mere 110 x 68 x 10 mm (roughly the
same size as an internal 2.5” HDD; without the enclosure) It fits easily
in your pocket and requires no power adapter. It’s the perfect
travelling companion.
And,
check your preconceived notions at the door because this little SSD
really performs. External storage is now your primary storage. No longer
relegated for just backup, this little pocket-SSD is perfect for
rendering video, animations and photography. It’s primary storage that
is more productive and portable. Featuring a SandForce SSD processor,
this solid state drive offers durability, reliability and performance
beyond anything you’ve ever seen from a hard disk. Its top speed reaches
over 260MB/s, but where this design really shines is in the real world
performance. Its on-board processor is able to dramatically accelerate
real world performance by compressing your data, in real-time, as it
writes and decompressing data as it reads. Your data now uses less space
and transfers more efficiently than ever. Backing up your system now
takes a fraction of the time it would take on rotating media.
Fully
backward compatible to USB 2.0, the Storage POD Mini is also packed
with many new features. This drive has a One-Touch Backup button that
launches a backup routine that can support numerous machines. Just push
the backup button and it will begin to back up all your pre-determined
data areas at writes speeds of up to 174MB/s. And the Storage POD Mini
also has a Read/Write switch to protect your data from unintentional
writes, similar to an SD card.
Available in 60GB, 120GB and 240GB capacities, the Storage POD Mini is now shipping.
