A new SSD that uses the standard mini-PCIe form factor, in a hope to unify an unstandard new market.
After the introduction of the "netbook", there has been a surge in the demand of small SSD drives but this has always had the problem associated with proprietary form factors - ASUS has one, Acer and Dell also do, among others.
Samsung now aims to unify the upcoming lines of netbooks by supplying a SATA II controller + FLASH + CACHE in a single, standard mini-PCIe form factor with the same size as the current WiFi adapters for laptops. This will allow for netbooks and laptops to be sold with only the fast SSD and latter upgrade storage with a 2.5" HDD, or skipping it altogether in favor of lower power consumption and thinner designs.
Samsung will be offering the SSD in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB flavours, capable of 200MB/s for sequential reads and 100MB/s for sequential writes.
Power consumption is very low at 0.3W. Prices have not yet been disclosed for any model.

Samsung should also be selling them through other brands. Have you tried looking for Kingston or other products? I hear STEC also builds PCIe SSDs.
