PQI plans to show off the 32GB Express Card SSD S520, a new SSD storage device that users can plug into the PCI Express slot of the computer, or simply use it as a USB flash drive.
Non-SSD and flash-based products will also be revealed by PQI during CES, which starts tomorrow in Las Vegas.
The company previously introduceed a 2.5-inch 256GB SSD in May of last year.
Despite the higher cost of SSDs, the technology is expected to be well represented this week during CES. Companies look to push the storage boundaries of SSDs, while also dropping the price to help make them more appealing to casual consumers.
