Mach Xtreme introduced MX-NANO, a new line of 1.8" PATA solid state disks with 256MB cache. These disks are available in capacities from 30GB to 240GB. The 120GB and 240GB models are the quickest variants, with maximum read speeds of up to 120MB/s and write speeds of up to 90MB/s. One thing we don't like though is that the firm provides a warranty of only 1 year.
