416GB Solid State Drive

BitMicro just announced the new E-Disk Altima, it squeezes 416GB into a laptop friendly 2.5 inch enclosure. The drive will operate 24/7 and can withstand temperatures between -40 to 185 while keeping a sustained read/write speed of 100MB/sec.

Currently the drive is marketed to the Military. A cost effective 640GB solid state drive isn’t going to be cheap anytime soon, especially with most available NAND memory on the market already being scooped up by Apple.
