The fabulously titled tech boffins over at Super Talent, the California-based manufacturer of Flash and DRAM storage hardware, have this week announced the arrival of the (not so fabulously titled) FSD56GC25H, a new 256GB SSD drive that Super Talent is lauding as the world’s skinniest storage solution of its type.

According to Super Talent, the FSD56GC25H is built on an industry standard 2.5-inch hard drive form factor and is also reliant on an industry standard SATA-I interface, which renders the new SSD completely interchangeable with traditional existing SATA drives in the 2.5-inch category.
However, the storage specialist is perhaps more keen to focus on the new drive’s “exceptionally small and slim” signature black casing, which is crafted from durable lightweight aluminium alloy and measures in at a mere 12.5mm in thickness.
Super Talent Technology stresses that its latest Flash-based storage offering is around 40 percent more slender than any other rival 256GB SSD currently available on the market.
“We designed this drive for applications that need rugged and reliable storage in a very compact form factor,” commented Joe James, Marketing Director at Super Talent. “This product underscores our leadership in high density SSDs and demonstrates the technical capabilities of our Silicon Valley engineering team.”
In terms of specific technical details associated with the FSD56GC25H, it delivers 0.1ms access times, a maximum of 65MB/sec sequential read speed, and 50MB/sec sequential write speed. It also supports up to 1600G of shock and 16G of vibration -- which Super Talent notes is “about five times greater than typical hard drives.”
The drive’s reliability and endurance is further bolstered by ECC support, bad bit management firmware and Super Talent’s patented wear levelling technology.
Sample units of the Super Talent FSD56GC25H 256GB SSD drive are now available, while selling is conducted directly with OEMs and pricing is made available upon request.
