Super Talent Technology sent us a press release announcing new 4GigaByte DDR2 Fully Buffered DIMMs (FB-DIMMs). These modules were designed for use in the latest Intel Xeon server boards based on the Intel 5000P (Blackford) chipset. These JEDEC compliant 240-pin dual rank modules are organized as 512Megabit x 72. Thirty-six pieces of 256Megabit x4 DRAM chips in FBGA packages are used to build these modules. These modules have already been validated in the Intel 5000PSL and other leading server boards.

In related news, Super Talent Technology also announced a full range of Solid State Disk (SSD) drives with an industry standard Serial ATA interface. This new line of SATA drives is offered in industry standard 1.8-inch, 2.5-inch, and 3.5-inch form factors, making these drives 100% compatible with conventional hard disk drives. However, these products are built with only solid state Flash components. Since they contain no moving parts, SSD drives have the advantage of being far more rugged and reliable than regular hard drives, while using 85% less power. Moreover, because SSD drives are built using Flash technology, they offer sequential transfer speed comparable to magnetic drives and dramatically faster access speed. Super Talent's 1.8-inch SATA drives are offered in up to 32GigaByte capacities; 2.5-inch drives are available in up to 64GigaBytes; and for high capacity requirements Super Talent offers a 128GigaByte 3.5-inch drive. These RoHS compliant products will be available in April 2007 to OEMs and resellers directly from Super Talent. Pricing to be released in April.
