Super Talent Technology, today announced a new line of Parallel ATA (PATA) 1.8-inch solid state drives (SSDs) that use a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector. This new line of Super Talent SSDs is offered in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. All these capacities are packaged in an industry standard form factor that is compatible with 1.8-inch ZIF hard drives.

These drives are available in commercial (0C to 70C) and industrial (-40C to 85C) operating temperature ranges. The ZIF connector is ideal for rugged handheld computing devices.

Super Talent’s SSDs are designed and manufactured in the company’s San Jose, California headquarters. All these products are sampling now. Approximate OEM pricing for FHD32GC18Z (32GB PATA SSD) is $790.
