New 128GB SaberTooth™
ZX is Ideal Upgrade for Laptops and Netbooks using IDE ZIF Interface
Fremont, California - January 25, 2010
- Active Media Products, manufacturer
of SSDs and endangered species USB drives, today added a new 128GB
capacity drive to their SaberTooth ZX series of 1.8-inch PATA ZIF
SSDs. The new 128GB SSD is ideal for upgrading popular laptops and
netbooks. With sequential read speeds up to 80MB/sec and sequential
write speeds up to 38MB/sec, the new 128GB ZX delivers impressive
bootup, shutdown and application load speeds that are dramatically
faster than hard drives.
Measuring 70 x 54 x 5 mm, the ZX has the same
dimensions as 1.8-inch HDDs. It uses a parallel ATA (PATA / IDE) ZIF
interface, and supports PIO mode 6 and Ultra DMA mode 6. SaberTooth
ZX is compatible with most netbooks that use 1.8" PATA ZIF hard
drives. The ZX is one of the fastest and easiest ways to upgrade a
multitude of mobile computers to higher performance and more local
storage. The SaberTooth ZX family now includes 32GB, 64GB and 128GB
models.
