Dischi SSD veloci ed economici per netbook e pc low cost

Samsung ha annunciato di aver pronti dischi SSD veloci ed economici, studiati appositamente per i netbook ed i pc low-cost. Ecco il comunicato.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, announced today that it has begun sampling low-density, higher-performance solid state drives (SSDs) that are only 30 percent of the size of 2.5-inch SSDs and highly cost-efficient to manufacture. With the introduction of these smaller, low-capacity SSDs, Samsung now offers an attractive replacement for existing hard drives used in low-cost PCs. Available in densities of 8GB, 16GB and 32GB, the new multi-level-cell SSDs will be mass produced beginning next month.

Samsung’s new MLC-based SSD at 32GB capacity will read data (sequentially) at 90MB/s and write it (sequentially) at 70MB/s – performance levels much greater than low-density SSDs on the market today. The 16GB reads at 90MB/s and writes at 45MB/s, while the 8GB reads at 90MB/s and writes at 25MB/s.

Da notare:

• le capacità di 8, 16 e 32GB coprono tutti i settori;
• saranno commercializzate all’inizio di Settembre, le vedremo nei netbook prima di Natale?;
• i tempi di accesso dei modelli sono molto buoni;
• la connessione sarà SATA II.
