Foremay, Inc. has today introduced its first disk-on-chip solid-state hard drive into its OC177 SSD product family. The chip disk is a NAND drive, marketed as DOC, that has dimensions of 22 x 22 x 1.8 mm.

DOC supports standard IDE or SATA host interface, and complies with ATA-7 specifications. Current shipping capacity is up to 32GB with a read/write speed up to 70/40MB/s. A 64GB capacity SSD is expected in the third quarter of 2011.

"Foremay's DOC drive eliminates the need to have a 'disk drive' attached to the computer motherboard," says Jack Winters, chief technology officer of Foremay. "The DOC can be soldered directly onto the motherboard via its LGA or BGA pins, which also significantly enhances the anti-shock and anti-vibration performance from DOC equipped computers."
