SAN DIEGO -- BiTMICRO Networks, a pioneer in intelligent flash solid-state drive solutions, announced at the West 2009 event in San Diego, California the first customer shipment of its E-Disk Altima™ ATA-133 solid state drive (SSD).

Barely two months after releasing the E-Disk® Altima™ SATA SSD, BiTMICRO now marks the release of the E-Disk® Altima™ E2A133BL ATA-133 SSD model. This model is primarily targeted to serve the capacity and performance driven applications of the military, aerospace and embedded markets, which include imaging, video-on-demand, database and data recording applications.

BiTMICRO’s E-Disk® Altima™ ATA-133 flash SSD offers optimum storage solution to keep up with the rapid increase in the storage capacity requirements and top-speed performance demands of military and industrial applications. This 2.5” solid-state drive utilizes the latest high-density single level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory chips, allowing the model to offer random I/O rates of up to 20,000/sec, burst rates of up to 133 MB/sec, sustained rates of up to 100 MB/sec, and storage capacities of up to 416 GB. Additionally, the E-Disk® Altima™ ATA-133 model has an operating temperature ranging from –40°C to +85°C, making it ideal for 24x7 deployment in extremely hostile environments.
