Super Talent MasterDriveI am still patiently waiting for the day when NAND flash gets cheap enough that we can stop using normal hard drives and go for SSD drives in our notebooks. I could certainly use all of the battery life I can get and faster boot speeds are great too.

Super Talent announced a new line of SSD drives today that are direct replacements for normal 2.5-inch hard drives and use the SATA-II interface. The drives are called MasterDrive SSD and use a proprietary algorithm to extend the life of the drives.

Super Talent has a 120GB MasterDrive MX that will retail for $699, not a bad price really for that much SSD storage. The drive also has 120/40 MB/sec read and write speeds. Other capacities available include a 60GB for $449 and a 30GB for $299. A pair of faster 120/70 MB/sec read and write speed drives are available in 60GB for $1299 and 30GB for $699.
