The SSD, solid state drive, isn’t always faster than a standard hard drive, but one thing is for sure, they can come a whole lot smaller. Currently the smallest regular hard drives are being make is the 1.8 inch by Toshiba for their ultra-compact laptops.

However, Super Talent Technology has announced two new SSDs which are considerable smaller at 1 inch and 0.85 of an inch. These new SSDs utilise Intel Z-P140 NAND Flash-based SSD technology and employ the ATA (PATA/IDE) interface rather than SATA.

The 0.85 inch SSD offers 2GB and 4GB of storage and the 1 inch SSD offers 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB storage. However, thanks to their size and storage capacity these new SSDs are only suitable for the ultra-mobile PC market.
