BiTMICRO 416GB SSD in 2.5-inch drive

BiTMICRO is certainly leaving everyone else eating dust when it comes to solid state hard drives, with plans to release a 416GB version crammed into a 2.5″ form factor sometime early next year. This new 2.5″ ATA/ATAPI-7 PATA solid state drive supports PIO 0-4, DMA 0-2 and UDMA 0-6 data transfer modes, all the while taking advantage of the latest high-density single level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory chips in order to bring a whopping 416GB of storage space to the end user. Data transfer speeds are nothing short of impressive, reaching 133MB/sec burst with up to 100MB/sec sustained reads and writes and up to 20,000+ random IOPS. No idea on pricing, but you could probably buy a car with the 416GB model.
