Toshiba launches 256GB SSD |
I have talked about the drawbacks of SSDs before, including the high price of the typical SSD and the lower storage capacity among others. The price for your average SSD is starting to come down and new technology is bringing us higher capacities and better performance. Toshiba introduce a new SSD this week that helps performance and capacity concerns.
The Toshiba 256GB SSD uses multi-level cell technology for faster performance. The 256GB drive uses the industry standard 2.5-inch form factor. MLC technology allows the SSD to have read speeds of 120Mbps and write speeds of 70Mbps.
Toshiba also introduced new flash modules in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB that are aimed at the netbook and consumer electronic market. The flash modules offer read speeds of 80Mbps, write speeds of 50Mbps, and are able to connect to any SATA 3.0Gbps compatible system.
