BiTMICRO NETWORKS Unveils the World's Fastest IDE/ATA E-Disk

    SAN JOSE, Calif.--Jan. 25, 2000--

    The ATI35 E-Disk(TM) is the Long Awaited IDE/ATA Solid State Flash Disk for Increasing the System Performance and Reliability in
    Mission Critical Applications.

    BiTMICRO NETWORKS, Inc. proudly introduces a new product line, the ATI35 E-Disk(TM), the world's fastest IDE/ATA solid state flash disk.
    The ATI35 is built purposely to alleviate the performance gap between data storage and CPU speed in today's computer systems. Built on BiTMICRO NETWORKS patented FlashBus(TM) technology, the ATI35 delivers 5.2 MBytes/sec burst read and write transfer rates, over 4.5 MBytes/sec sustained read and write transfer rates, and less than 0.25 ms average access time. The ATI35 storage capacities range from 128 MBytes to 18944 MBytes in the standard 3.5" form factor. The ATI35 is fully ATA compatible and is a quick drop-in replacement for conventional hard disk drives in systems seeking higher performance and/or reliability.
    The ATI35 is the newest addition to BiTMICRO NETWORKS E-Disk(TM) product family. The sustained read and write transfer rates of ATI35 are over two times faster than the closest competitors. The capacity of ATI35 is fifteen times larger than the closest competitors.
    The ATI35 leverages proven sophisticated hardware and software technology that BiTMICRO NETWORKS has pioneered in the solid state flash disk industry. Innovations including EDC and sophisticated interleaved Reed-Solomon ECC, dynamic remapping, proprietary wear-leveling, and fully associative caching, are optimized for use with flash memory and ensure increased data integrity, optimum system performance, and extreme device longevity.
    BiTMICRO NETWORKS' earlier line of SCSI products has undergone extensive worldwide product qualifications testing across Windows, MacOS, and various UNIX platforms including SunOS, IRIX, Linux, BSD, OS/2, AIX, SCO, OSF1, and CP/M.
    The exceptional performance, reliability, and robustness of BiTMICRO NETWORKS E-Disk(TM) solid state flash disk has made it the data storage of choice by industries requiring high data bandwidth storage solutions that must withstand harsh environmental conditions. E-Disk(TM) is well suited for telecommunications, transportation, aerospace, military, and other industrial applications where conventional disk drives fail.
