We've seen a number of large-capacity SSDs, but 64GB seems like the current sweet spot, and A-Data's aiming to fill it out with a quartet of new 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch PATA and SATA drives. That's pretty much it on the outside -- it is just a big flash drive, after all -- but don't worry, there's plenty of sexy once you actually get an SSD inside your machine.

You already know the deal on A-DATA's 128GB solid state disk, which is currently the largest SSD you'll find outside of tightly sealed corporate doors and available for citizens to handle, but it looks like AVing got up close and personal with the device itself, mixing a little proof in with the pudding. So go on and click through for another snapshot of the (momentary) big fellow, so you'll know just what you're looking for when these land around mid-year.

So Adata has really been jumping into the latest fad of slapping a display onto a memory device in order to read its available storage. They've dabbled in e-ink and the like, but this time they're powering a good old fashioned pocket calculator LCD with a pocket calculator solar panel. The good news about this is that the proven tech should allow them to get these 128MB to 1GB drives out the door before long, the bad news is that it looks pretty lame, and you can't tell all your friends that you own an e-ink display. Not to worry, Adata was showing one of those as well, along with a USB key with a retractable headset for all your VoIP needs.

You didn't really think that just because the Computex trade show is going on halfway around the world, we wouldn't send a crack team of reporters to cover the event, did you? While our US staff neglected to renew their passports in time for their flights, the folks over at Engadget Chinese (traditional or simplified, your choice) were just a hop, skip, and jump away from Taipei, Taiwan, so they've graciously stepped up to the plate and provided the coverage necessary to make us feel that we're right in the thick of it. They've already posted a number of booth tours of your favorite companies, like Intel (who've apparently rented out an absolutely mind-boggling swath of hall), Sandisk, Toshiba, and, um, A Data, with the latter company's tour proving that our Asian colleagues have the same unhealthy obsession with cartoon-inspired gadgets as we do. Don't worry, we'll keep you apprised of the highlights from this year's show, but for the full in-your-face Computex experience, chinese.engadget.com is the place to be.
