Ever more companies add to their portfolio Solid State Drives (SSD), as it is the perfect solution for ultra portable notebooks. At CES 2007 show many manufacturers have exhibited their products, the Taiwanese company A-Data has introduced the most capacious SSD-disk 128 GB.

Thus the new product can fully replace the traditional hard disk drive in portable PC, however the price usually exceeds reasonable limits, so SSD won’t be in high demand so far. The company offers 3 interfaces to choose: IDE, SATA and ExpressCard. In addition to 128 GB SSD visitors can see less capacious versions in the company’s booth.
