Super Talent has launched the world’s slimmest 256GB solid state drive (SSD) – the FSD56GC25H. This new SSD aside from having a really long model number is only 12.5mm (0.49-inches) thick, making it the thinnest among the crop of SSDs available on the market today.

Aside from its thin dimension, Super Talent still managed to adhere to the industry standard 2.5-inch hard drive form factor. These standards include SATA-I interface and 100% interchangeability with conventional 2.5-inch SATA HD. It also sports Super Talent’s patented stacking technology in storing data files. The FSD56GC25H (whew!) drive also supports 0.1ms access time, 65MB/sec sequential read speed and 50MB/sec sequential write speed. It supports up to 1600G of shock and 16G of vibration, making it five times greater than normal hard drives.

Super Talent also made sure that the users data is well protected from internal and external factors. The FSD56GC25H has ECC support, bad bit management firmware and patented wear leveling technology. Hence, this SSD should give users extreme reliability and endurance.

“We designed this drive for applications that need rugged and reliable storage in a very compact form factor. This is the world’s smallest and thinnest 256GB SSD”, said Super Talent Marketing Director, Joe James.

The FSD56GC25H was designed for military and industrial market to be used for avionics,  video on demand, ATM, factory automation machines, POS terminals among other usages. Pricing for this SSD is available upon request, which means that it is priced out of the reach for most.
