(1.1) – Product Denition
(1.2) – Interface Description
A Solid State Drive (SSD) is a storage device that is based on semiconductors rather
than rotating magnetic platters. Super Talent uses Flash memory as the storage
media because they are fast, highly reliable, widely available, and are non-volatile.
SSDs are a drop-in replacement with standard hard disk drives since they use both
industry standard dimensions and a standard hard drive interface.
1.2.1 SATA Interface
All Super Talent’s SATA SSDs are compatible with the SATA 1.5 Gb/s standard,
allowing for drop-in drive replacement.
Super Talent’s SATA 3.0 SSDs are compatible with the SATA 3.0 Gb/s standard
in addition to the SATA 1.5 Gb/s standard, allowing for drop-in drive replacement.
1.2.2 IDE Interface
44-pin IDE (parallel ATA) interface can also support PIO mode and UDMA mode;
this allows for drop-in drive replacement.
