Viking Modular Systems has announced the availability of its SATADIMM, an Enterprise Class SATA II Solid State Drive (SSD) in an industry-standard DDR3 240-pin DIMM form factor. The SATADIMM SSD derives its power from the 1.5V supply to the DIMM socket (operates from 1.25 – 3.3 vdc) and data transfer is enabled by using a standard SATA cable. New designs have the option of wiring the SATA through the DIMM socket so no external cable is required. The SATADIMM has built-in ARS-128 encryption for data protection and supports Trim commands. The different models include SLC (single-level cell) versions with a 25GB to 200GB range and MLC (multi-level cell) versions with a 50GB to 400GB range. The SATADIMM supports SATA 3Gb with sustained read/write speeds of 260MB/sec., plus sequential and random performance of 30,000 I/O operations per second.
