In late July OCZ announced they were shipping their first Indilinx-based SSD design, code named Everest, to OEMs. LG is now offering a slim 128GB Everest SSD in their LG Xnote P220 to deliver great operational performance and "fast boot technology," which enables genuine instant on functionality for LG’s notebooks.
The new family of LG notebooks use the increasingly popular ultra-slim form factor, topping out at 21mm thick. As a result, LG wanted an SSD solution that could be as thin as possible to fit inside the chassis, without sacrificing performance or capacity. The Indilinx Everest SSD offers a drive height of 7.5mm and can still deliver read speeds in the 500 MB/s range.
When OCZ announced the Everest platform, they called out the processor’s rapid boot time as a major feature; claiming up to 50% improvement in boot over competing controllers. LG clearly found this to be important as they and others in the ultra-slim notebook space race against Apple to deliver an instant-on computing experience, in a sleek package.
LG P220 Series notebooks with Everest-based solid state drive configurations began shipping in August in Korea with plans to expand availability into select global markets shortly.
