Elecom Intros Pair of SSDs (http://www.overclockaholics.com/102388/Elecom_Intros_Pair_of_SSDs.html)
Elecom Japan announced two new solid state storage products, with the minuscule nanoSSD, and a regular 2.5-inch SSD. The more interesting of the two, nanoSSD plugs directly into a SATA port on the motherboard. It measures 25 x 6.5 x 39 mm, and weighs a mere 8 g. At these dimensions, it offers 16 GB of storage with transfer-rates of 75/30 MB/s (read/write). This just about makes it ideal for embedded machines, test systems, and SFF boxes.

The other SSD on offer of the regular 2.5-inch size, and comes in capacities of 64 GB and 128 GB. Elecom did not provide much info about this in its press-release. Nevertheless, the two drives will hit stores in a couple of days.

Can't fill your ports with those, it blocks ports on either side of it. Unless it comes with an extension cable or something...

the sata ports provide the minimal amount of power needed

Then all you need is a SATA cable to hang them on !

you would need an extension as most sata cables are female to female.... but those drives are femal so you would need a female to male extender

Exactly,
If there is a need, someone will make them.
