Green House SSD's with PATA-interface

Manufacturer Green House has introduced a number of new solid state drives featuring the old PATA interface. This makes it possible for older systems to use the relatively speedy solid state storage as well. The new Green House SSD's will be available in both 1.8" and 2.5" sizes, in MLC and SLC chip versions. The models with the cheaper MLC memory will be sold in capacities of 16 to 128 GB, while the largest SLC-based SSD will be 64 GB.

According to Green House, these new PATA SSD's feature an MTBF of 2 million hours, while most competitors only claim 1 to 1.5 million hours. Naturally, these claims are unconfirmed.

Green House's 1.8" models reach maximum reading- and writing speeds of respectively 65 and 55 MB/s on SLC memory, as well as 60 and 35 MB/s for the MLC versions. The 2.5" models reach speeds of about 5 MB/s more than its 1.8" counterpart, in both reading and writing. Shamefully, the controller used in the disks is n't mentioned. There's also no information on whether or not there's any disk cache present on the SSD's.
