SAMSUNG Electronics plans to launch a flash-memory based solid-state disk(SSD) drive this year that has a 257 GB capacity and high speed SATAll interface.
The drive’s dimensions match those of a standard 2.5 inch hard disk drive; it’s designed to be a drop in replacement for a laptop hard drive.
Samsung’s is the second recently announced 256 GB SSD drive. The other , from U.S based Super Talent, is thicker than Samsung’s at 12.5 millimeters. That drive has a SATAl
Interface with read speeds of 65 megabits per second and write speeds of 50mbps.Samsung’s SSD drive has a read speed of 200 mbps and a sequential write speed of 160 mbps,
according to the company Solid state disk drives use flash memory chips in place of the spinning magnetic disks that hard-disk drives use. The chips make the drives sturdier and
(typically) faster, but the per-gigabyte cost is much higher, too. The Samsung drive should appear by the end of the year.
