TDK GBDisk RS1 Series

TDK introduced its GBDisk RS1 series of Serial ATA (SATA)-compatible industrial silicon disks which are able to hold up to 16GB worth of data on its single level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory which comes in handy for high-speed and frequent data writing. Features such as complete power interruption tolerance, error correction, distributed data writing, and bad block management make this one highly reliable memory storage solution. They share the same dimensions as a 2.5″ hard drive, and should be able to find their way into tiny UMPCs sometime in the near future. Hopefully the prices will be low when it debuts for the consumer market.
