SANM Sanmina Corporation

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., March 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Viking Modular Solutions(TM), a division of Sanmina-SCI Corporation (NASDAQ:SANM), and designer and manufacturer of memory and flash modules, today announced SATA Cube3(TM), an embedded solid state drive (SSD) designed as an ultra small form factor, embedded industrial grade Serial ATA (SATA) SSD. "The SATA Cube3 is an ideal solution for OEMs that require the benefits of non-volatile solid state storage and SATA performance in an ultra small form factor," said Adrian Proctor, Vice President of Marketing for Viking Modular Solutions. "Additionally, this innovative product offers capacities ranging from 4GB to 256GB in the same X-Y footprint." The SATA Cube3 product is the optimum solution for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) designers in the embedded, server, storage, networking and industrial sectors. Designers of form factors such as ATCA, uTCA, AMC, XMC, PMC and PCIe will find the low volumetric density and high storage capacity of the SATA Cube3 a strong solution for their space constrained application(s). The SATA Cube3 has been designed for the most demanding of environmental conditions where a ruggedized solution is highly beneficial. This cost-effective option enables OEMs to design solutions with the high capacity and high reliability of a 2.5" or 1.8" SDD, but with the smallest mechanical footprint available today at 30x32mm. Available in densities of 4GB to 256GB, and with sustained read and write speeds of 110MB/sec and 79MB/sec respectively, the SATA Cube3 is 86 percent smaller than a 2.5" SSD/HDD. The SATA Cube3 is available as a BGA device or with a MicroSATA connector.
