Disk is very compact in size, 100.3 x 69.8 x 9.5 mm. Interface used is SATA II  and should have sequential read speed of 200 MB/sec and write speed is 160 MB/sec. Mean time between failures is 1 M hours (over 115 years) with power consumption of 0.9 W in active mode.

Production is expected to start before end of year for 2.5" model. So far there are no indications of price for this little gem...
