 Walton Chaintech is serving up a speedy new storage solution in the form of Apogee SSD Convertor, a 2.5-inch device that can be equipped with one or two (in RAID 0/1) CompacFlash memory cards and act as a solid state drive. The faster/larger the CF cards used, the greater the performance and capacity offered by the convertor which comes with a SATA 3.0 interface. According to its maker, the Apogee SSD Convertor can deliver read speeds of up to 55 MB/s, but, again, it all depends on the cards used.
Speaking of CompactFlash cards, Walton Chaintech has also announced a new CF line which features 16GB and 32GB models with a 606x speed rating. Ready to be paired up with the Apogee SSD Convertor or a DSLR camera, the cards offer read and write speeds of up to 93 MB/s and 91 MB/s, respectively. Unfortunately, Chaintech has not said anything about the availability of its new products so we'll just have to keep an eye out for them.
