PhotoFast has launched its G-Monster-1, 8 "V4. We are dealing here with a flash drive 1.8-inch. The Taiwanese manufacturer suggested three different interfaces, PATA 50 pins, 40 pins and PATA ZIF 40 pines. Capacities ranging from 32 to 256GB are offered, the latter being more impressive in such small dimensions.

The MLC flash memory is accompanied by 64 MB of cache. PhotoFast posting speeds of 128 MB / s sequential read and 90MB / s sequential write. The random write 4 KB is fairly good, with 16 Mb / s advertised on the G-Monster-1, 8 "V4. There is also a function of Garbage Collection, less effective than TRIM, but still useful. PhotoFast offers a one-year warranty on its new G-Monster. It will be available soon but we do not know yet its rates.
