The
SaberTooth AA SSD scored about 100% faster than the default
SSD in Read speeds, and up to 9x faster in write speeds. The
SaberTooth AA is one of the first available 64GB upgrades for
the Mini 9, making it the highest density storage solution in
this form factor. "This SSD answers the demand from many
netbook users for bigger and faster storage options. We were
able to reach the 64GB density by using the newest high capacity
flash chips," stated Active Media Products VP of Sales,
Jerry Thomson.
The
SaberTooth AA has a Mini PCI-E connector, but uses IDE/PATA
signaling, so it is custom made for the Dell Mini 9. The MLC
flash based drive includes ECC and wear leveling features. The
64GB SaberTooth AA, part number N64G-HMPCIE2, is available now
on Amazon or directly through ActiveMP.com for about $199.
