Solid State Drive Manufacturers

Computer Hard Drive Types

This is a general listing of Computer Solid State Drive [SSD] manufacturers.
Solid State Disk Drives which are completely Flash are listed below.
Hard Disk Drive devices; HDD Manufacturers, that use a platter
Hybrid Hard Disk Drives which rely on a large amount of Flash are listed on the HHD page.

The different types of disk drive bus interface types are listed below.
Keep in mind that the IDE drives, Parallel ATA [PATA], Bus is being replaced by the Serial ATA: [SATA] bus.
Internal Interface types; ATA [IDE], Ultra ATA, SATA [Desk-top], SATA, SCSI, Ultra SCSI, Serial SCSI [Enterprise]
External Interface types; eSATA [Desktop], SCSI, Serial SCSI [SAS] [Enterprise], Fibre Channel [Enterprise], Firewire, or USB

The four common Hard Drive applications are Desk Top Computers, enterprise servers, workstations, and notebook computers.
Laptop Computers are normally the smallest
Desk Top Computers are middle of the range
Workstations use the largest drives
Enterprise servers used to be the fastest and most expensive hard drives
But with the advent of SSD all the drive styles operate at the same speed.

The four common physical drive sizes are 0.85 inch, 1.8 inch, 2.5 inch, and 3.5 inch.
0.85 inch drives are 0.13" x 0.94" x 1.26" [No longer in common usage]
1.8 inch drives are 0.315" x 2.12" x 3.09" [Common Laptop Drive size]
2.5 inch drives are 0.370" x 2.75" x 3.94" [Common Desktop Drive size]
3.5 inch drives are 1.000" x 4.00" x 5.74" [Common Server Drive size]

The three common embedded physical drive sizes [No case or enclosure].
Half-Slim SSD; 54mm x 4mm x 39mm. [30GB and 62GB capacities] (JEDEC = Slim Light size)
Mini Serial ATA-2 [mSATA]; 30mm x 4.75mm x 50.95mm, JEDEC compliant form factor, SATA. [30GB and 62GB capacities]
SSDDR SODIMM is a dual function memory module combining Solid State Drive (SSD) and DDR SDRAM in a SODIMM form

Personal Computer Flash Drives use a number of different types of electrical interface buses to interconnect the physical drive to the PC's mother board.
The most common interface is the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) bus; how ever the specification is more correctly known as the ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) interface. A description of the IDE/ATA bus may be found on the IDE Bus page. The second most common electrical interface is the SCSI bus. A description of the SCSI [Small Computer Systems Interface] bus may be found on the Bus Design; SCSI Bus page. Both bus types listed above are parallel buses, serial versions are also available.

Refer to the Personal Computer Buses page for links to all the different possible electrical interfaces.

Flash Memory Styles:
Consumer-grade Multi-Level Cell (MLC) memory,
Enterprise-class Single-Level Cell (SLC) memory
