While traditional spinning hard drives are becoming more and more endangered as SSD’s drop in price while rising equally in reliability and storage space, even the standard 2.5″ SSD has a new competitor. Except this time, the competitor is one of its own. Shown off at Computex, the nano SSD drive looks to usher in a whole new range of possibilities for SSD’s and the devices that they are incorporated in. One look at the picture above shows you just how great a feat science has once again accomplished. The nano flash drives are no bigger than the face of a watch yet hold 128GB of data! While the write/read speeds of 160MB/s and 150MB/s respectively aren’t going to break any records, however, considering how tiny this little nano monster is, those numbers are nothing to scoff at by any means. Hopefully we’ll see these things popping up in devices before you know it! Another picture inside gives you a good grasp of the nano SSD’s real size compared to 2.5″ and 3.5″ drives.
