 Stec announced a series of 1-inch MACH4 solid state drives for the enterprise market. These new Stec MACH4 series disk are available with up to 32GB of storage capacity and Serial or Parallel ATA connectivity.
Designed for use in embedded computing devices, the drives use just a single watt of energy about a twelfth that of a mechanical drive. The teeny-tiny drives also share the same advantages of their bigger brethren with enhanced resistance to shock and extreme temperatures.
Performance is pretty impressive for such a small device, too the company quotes figures of 90MB/s read and 55MB/s write, although it's worth pointing out that this is for the faster SLC models which max out at 16GB storage, with the 32GB MLC units performing slower.

The Asus R300 PND is an innovative GPS device that is only 1.38cm thick and 140g in weight making it ideal for portability, whether placed in the car, carried in the user's pocket or snapped on easily to bicycles through a specially designed mount.

The new bicycle mount allows users who utilize bicycles or motorbikes to easily attach the R300 to the handlebars of their cycles providing a convenient and secure way to navigate without the need to hold the PND with their hands. These mounts also provide defense against scrapes, scratches and rocks through a protective cover; while an ear phone connection allows users to clearly hear navigational directions amid traffic noises.
