| Leveraging STEC’s proprietary, high 
					performance MACH4 SSD controller, the Express Mini Card 
					offers extremely high-performance (up to 90MB/s) and high 
					capacities up to 32GB.  The result is a no-compromise solid 
					state storage solution providing ultra-mobile system 
					designers with a true plug-n-play storage device, allowing 
					for short design cycles and fast time to market. 
					Flash memory has quickly become the product 
					of choice for applications requiring high reliability and 
					high tolerance to shock, vibration, humidity, altitude, and 
					temperature, especially important to mobile applications. 
					Because the MACH4 PCI Express Mini Card uses NAND flash 
					technology (e.g. no moving parts), it is more reliable and 
					has much lower latency compared to a traditional hard disk 
					drive, while consuming half the power (approximately 1 watt 
					compared to 2 watts for a typical mobile hard disk drive).  STEC’s 
					MACH4 PCI Express Mini Card also adheres to the PCI-SIG 
					Express Mini Card mechanical specification as well as 
					industry compliance and regulatory standards including UL, 
					FCC, RoHS, and ATA-7.  This combined with a proprietary 
					state-of-the-art flash memory controller supporting key 
					flash management features including advanced wear-leveling 
					and error checking and correction as well as drive 
					monitoring (SMART), provides OEMs with the flexibility to 
					address customer-specific applications with the industry’s 
					highest reliability and endurance. |
