KANSAS CITY, MO—OCTOBER 12, 2010---- Angelbird releases the Wings PCI-Express
SSD card, the first of its kind that offers up to four user installable SSD drives as well as
an embedded 16 or 32GB SSD on board. This solution focuses both on performance for
the enterprise market and maximum affordability for the consumers.

The developers at Angelbird believed that it was important to somehow move beyond
the SATAII 3Gb/sec transfer rate and yet do it economically. Unlike other solutions out
there that are fixed in nature and not expandable, with the Wings card, a user has the
ability to simply remove one, two, three, or four drives from the card, and add larger and/
or faster drives as they become available or needed. Additionally, the card comes with its
own OS called Virtue ( http://www.angelbird.co.uk/virtue ) that will boot on any machine
you install the card in. Within Virtue is a disk configuration utility to allow you maximum
flexibility in configuring the volumes for all the various OS on the market.

“Wings ( http://www.angelbird.co.uk/wings ) is the first PCIe SSD solution that offers an
extra partition that allows the user to put an ISO [disk image] of their OS and any other
necessary drivers in a special place that is always readily available, and doesn’t rely on
optical units” says Davide Rutigliano, Founder and Chairman of Angelbird. “Until now
PCIe SSD solutions have been only available to the enterprise market, or were limited in
that they only ran on certain operating systems or were fixed in size. The bootable
Wings card changes the game, yet again, by booting on Windows, Linux and OSX, or
allows peaceful coexistence and integration of all of the above on the same system,
whether it is a PC or a Mac Pro.”

Offering both populated and unpopulated cards, starting at $239.99 for the unpopulated
card, and the cards are available with 1, 2, or 4 of their own Crest SSD transformable
expansion cartridges ( http://www.angelbird.co.uk/crest ) which are SandForce based
and 120GB in size. The single drive Wings card is $539.99, the dual drive card is
$839.99 and the 4 drive card is $1399.99. The fully populated card has been tested at
over 1.02Gb/second for reads and 900Mb/second for writes which is performance not
previously seen at this price point, and never previously seen on a bootable PCIe SSD
card, let alone an upgradable one.

Angelbird Limited is based in the United Kingdom, its sales and marketing operations
based in the United States, and its development offices based in Holland and China thus
taking advantage of the varying regions expertise in different portions of the business.

AngelBird expects to complete the production of Wings cards by Halloween 2010. Why
Halloween? Because it’s scary fast, that’s why.
