BitMicro Plans to Shatter Flash Storage Capacity Limits With 832GB SSDs

January 9th, 2008 by Jeffrey L. Wilson

We expected to see escalating solid state drive capacities at the Big Show (you know, in the 128GB to 256GB range), but nothing like the insane amount of storage that BitMicro announced: a whopping 832GB SSD.

Yes, you’ve read that correctly 832GB, which would make the E-Disk Altima E2A3GM drive the largest capacity SSD in a 2.5-inch form factor. So how will this insane level of storage be achieved? The E-Disk Altima E2A3GM utilizes multi-level cell NAND flash, that enables BitMicro to pack in twice the number of bits per memory cell. In addition, the drive is hot pluggable and maintains a swift 100 Mbps data transfer rate. BitMicro claims that it will begin shipping these 832GB monsters in volume in Q3, as well in various other capacities starting at 32GB.
