Intel Z-P140 PATA penny-sized 4GB SSD
Dec 17, 07 06:13 PM PDT

Solid State Drives are well known for their smaller size and smaller power requirements, but when you can cram 4GB on a surface that is equivalent to a penny, this is pretty impressive, although not surprising given current advances in semi-conductor manufacturing. Today, many music players use 1.8” drives that have a much larger capacity (60GB), but the Z-P140 has very interesting qualities:
- 400x smaller for 15x less capacity
- 75 times lighter
- More shock resistant
Quick specs
- Parallel ATA interface (PATA)
- 2GB and 4GB capacity
- 40Mbytes/sec (read), 30Mbytes/sec (write)
- 300mW (1.1mW in sleep mode)
Storage is where Intel’s manufacturing capability can really shine, so expect them to give Samsung and Micron a run for their money (more SSD stories).
