Super Talent Technology today announced their new MasterDrive KX3, a 1.8" SSD for the emerging notebook and tablet markets.

This SATA II capable drive requires only 3.3V and it measures 5mm in thickness. Performance figures include sequential read/write speeds of 250 MB/s and 140 MB/s respectively.

In smaller spaces, thermal concerns often arise but the MasterDrive KX3 can take the heat. Available as option, the KX3 can be built to handle extended temperature ranges from -40C to 85C.

The MasterDrive KX3 SSD is available now in capacity ranges from 32GB to 256GB.
