Active Media Products has introduced a new range of 1.8-inch solid state drives, SaberTooth ZX. The three current offerings have a PATA ZIF interface and either 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of storage capacity. Their performance is rated at up to 80MBps of sequential read speeds and up to 38MBps sequential write speeds. The drives are meant as an upgrade to netbook PCs.
Solid state and USB storage drive maker Active Media Products recently introduced its Aviator 312 line of USB 3.0 external solid state SSDs. The drives are available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities and support read speeds of as much as 240MBps and write speeds of 160MBps. The drive is one of the first USB devices to reach its peak speeds through the USB 3.0 interface, which allows transfer speeds of up to about 5Gbps, or about ten times faster than USB 2.0.
Active Media has recently released two new 2.5-inch solid state drives as part of its Predator GT SATA-II line, with record 220MBps sequential read speeds and 0.1ms access times. Just two capacities are offered, 64GB and 128GB, with each housed in a brushed aluminum housing and with a 3.5-inch drive bay mounting bracket.
