The rugged, low-power Intel Z-P230 PATA Solid-State Drive (SSD) now comes in two form factors, the original 40-pin ZIF module that is four times smaller and one-fourth the weight of a traditional 1.8-inch hard drive, and an even smaller PCIe mini-card version for more space conscious systems.
Intel Z-P230 PATA SSD is affordable and low-power storage solution for netbooks and nettops. This SSD is an innovative storage solution for value mobile and desktop systems such as netbooks and nettops.
Four times smaller than a traditional 1.8" hard disk drive and as little as one-fourth the weight, the Intel Z-P230 PATA SSD is designed to replace traditional hard disk drives in netbook and nettop systems.
The solid-state design means no moving parts, providing ruggedness that's perfect for mobile designs. And the Intel Z-P230 SSD's low power requirements translate to longer battery life.
The Intel Z-P230 PATA SSD is now available in two sizes: 40-pin ZIF module and a space-saving mini-card module.
