FREMONT, Calif. — Bitmicro Networks, today unveiled what it calls “the world's fastest EIDE solid state flash disk,” the ATX35 E-Disk. It is the latest addition to the company's product line of fast and reliable solid state flash disks.

“E-Disk offers . . . customers the highest levels of service reliability, availability, and performance. E-Disks are well suited for applications where service interruption is not an option,” said Henry Luk, technical lead designer of the ATX35.

The ATX35 has an average access time of 0.10 ms and 16.6 MBytes per second burst read and write transfer rates. According to a company spokesperson, “the 14 MBytes per second sustained transfer rate of ATX35 surpasses the performance record previously held by BiTMICRO making the ATX35 more than six times faster than any other competing ATA solid state flash disk.”

The ATX35 conforms to the industry standard 3.5 inch form factor for conventional hard disk drives, is fully ATA-2, ATA-3, and ATA-4 compatible, and is available with up to 18,944 MBytes of capacity. The ATX35 is a quick drop-in replacement for conventional hard disk drives or other flash disks. All E-Disks offer high levels of data integrity based on advanced Reed-Solomon Error detection and correction. Like other ATA/IDE solid state disk devices, the ATX35 is supported on Linux as well as most other operating systems.
