Default 1.8" solid state disk for Tablet PC, NO altitude limits

This is the first 1.8" SSD that I have seen with a female IDE
connector (properly called micro-ATA). It is used in The popular
Fujitsu 1600 tablet, some other notebooks / tablets, and even some
iPods. Pilots can replace their hard disks with this solid state disk
to prevent crashes (no pun intended) at altitude. SSDs are are pure
NAND Flash memory, immune to vibration, shock, etc. 1ms access time.
