Upgrade your netbook to a 128GB 1.8-Inch PATA ZIF SSD

Active Media Products announced a new SSD to their line up, a 128GB member of the SaberTooth ZX family. Quieter and faster than a HDD, the Active Media Products drive will add more storage and speed to applications. The drive is available now for $379 at Amazon.

The SaberTooth fits slots for 1.8-inch HDDs. It uses a parallel ATA (PATA / IDE) ZIF interface, and supports PIO mode 6 and Ultra DMA mode 6. SaberTooth ZX is compatible with most netbooks that use 1.8″ PATA ZIF hard drives. The manufacturer says the SSD is capable of sequential read speeds up to 80MB/sec and sequential write speeds up to 38MB/sec.

Active Media Products says the advantages of moving to an SSD are many, including:

• Substantially faster bootup and application load speeds compared to default netbook HDDs;
• Consume far less power than HDDs, which means you’ll enjoy longer battery life and greater productivity

;

• Lighter weight than an HDD;
• No moving parts;
• Completely silent operation;
• Produce less heat than an HDD
• More rugged and reliable than an HDD

.

Active Media Products SaberTooth line features 32GB, 64GB and now 128GB models. The company features a SSD selector guide to help users find the right SSD for their device.
