SEOUL, South Korea--(Business Wire)--
Mtronstorage Technology Co.,Ltd (KOSDAQ:046320), a global
manufacturer of Solid State Drive (SSD) products in South Korea,
announced today that they have completed the development of a new 1.8
Inch ZIF-type SSD for laptop PC and will begin production in April.

Mtron has previously launched 2.5 Inch 32GB SSD and Multi Level
Cell (MLC) SSD in 2007, and Mtron believes that the addition of the
new product will help them to take the next step in mobile SSD market.

Mtron's new SSD with Single Level Cell (SLC) Flash memory supports
PATA (ZIF-type) interface and has a maximum reading speed of 120MB/s
and writing speed of 100MB/s, which is more than 6 times faster than
the current 1.8 inch HDD. Therefore when it's used in laptop PC and
UMPC, it delivers much faster performance than desktop. Mtron also
released 1.8 Inch SSD with Multi Level Cell (MLC) Flash memory, which
provides maximum memory capacity of up to 128 GB along with a maximum
reading speed of 110 MB/s and writing speed of 40MB/s.

With moving parts, Mtron's 128GB SSD has no noise and the ability
to resist up to shock and vibration and even consumes nearly 50
percent less power as compared with conventional hard disk drive.

Mtron's new SSD also makes much less noise, has resistance against
shock and vibration, and consumes nearly 50 percent less power than
conventional hard disk drive.

SSD products were initially known to be ideal for laptop PC and
mobile devices because of its Flash memory basis, but it was hard to
implement them because of their low memory capacity and high prices.

However, Mtron's new SSD provides 4 times larger memory capacity
and makes it ideal for not only laptop PC, but also UMPC, PMP mobile
devices, camcorders, MP3, gaming console, navigation, and other mobile
entertainment devices.

Therefore, Mtron expects their new 128 GB 1.8 Inch SSD will begin
replacing the current 1.8 Inch HDD.

Steve Jeon, CEO of Mtron, said, "With our new 1.8 Inch SSD, Mtron
has added another great product line as a leader in SSD market, which
is expected to grow into ten billion dollars in 2012. Our new product
is a result of careful market analysis and research for consumer
needs, and we will launch our new product in April so that we can
satisfy their need for high performance SSD products."
