"In today's embedded markets, system builders are relying less on traditional Parallel ATA (PATA) interface technology within their embedded system designs and are trending towards other more robust storage interface alternatives such as Serial ATA (SATA). STEC embedded SSDs address this trend with a form factor half the size of a mobile hard disk drive (HDD), typically measuring 2.5 in. Initially offered in capacities of up to 64GB with industrial range temperatures, STEC's Embedded SSDs offer superior random read performance of 15,000 IOPS and 6,000 IOPS Random Writes and transfer rates of up to 135MB/s reads and 130MB/s writes. Because these SSDs deliver solid performance in small packages, system designers are afforded greater design flexibility and reduced cost of ownership when compared to existing HDD technologies."
