SanDisk Reveals World's Smallest SSD, the 'iSSD'
No, this is not Apple's SSD... unless it ends up in a Mac.
SanDisk has announced what it claims to be the world's smallest SSD. Of course, with SSDs being made up of flash memory, it shouldn't be hard to imagine just how much storage one could fit on a drive the size of a postage stamp.
SanDisk calles it the integrated SSD, or iSSD for short, and it's designed for tablet PCs and ultra-thin notebooks. The iSSD is the first flash SSD device to support the industry standard SATA interface in a small BGA (Ball Grid Array) package that can be soldered onto any motherboard, and is fast enough to use as a boot drive.
The iSSD is advertised by SanDisk as offering 160MB/sec sequential read and 100MB/sec sequential write speeds. It measuring 16mm x 20mm x 1.85mm and weighs less than one gram.
The SanDisk iSSD is available now for sampling to OEMs in capacities ranging from 4GB to 64GB.

Because the world has become a proper grammar/spelling failure. And thank you to Apple for perpetuating it.
so does everything that start with "i" have to do with the fruit company now?
Remember when everything started with an "e"? Ah, the good old days.
eWaste became a bad moniker. We have yet to start talking about iWaste, nobody wants to wear that one, even though we all make iWaste (even those of us who don't buy overpriced products from a company that tries to censor it's consumers).
iSee that you did not begin your post with an "i". You have been penalized for not following the rules and must sit out a minimum of 3 news articles before you can post again.
Everthing use to be e this or e that now everything start with an i it's all backwards!
All joking aside, those are pretty good read and write speeds and up to 64GB huh? That's pretty big for something so small! I think it would be cool to have a 64GB USB 3.0 SSD the size of the flash drive.
So you only need to add SATA HD for the tons of musics and videos
Would be great for htpc who have storage in nas form..
No need for mooving part or any other parts for that matter.
Mobo,cpu,pico psu,ram n ur done..
Hardly because usually it has been the other way around. Apple was sued due to the names of the iPhone and iPad.
OT - Another step closer to seeing true tablet PCs and not just smart phones with larger screens. Stream media of a PC/NAS all the time is just no fun. I want my mobility and my media in one and 8gig is just a joke.
