Samsung to launch fastest high capacity flash memory - 256GB SSD
On Monday, Samsung, largest flash memory chip maker announched to launch a flash memory based solid-state disk with a enormous 256GB capacity and faster speed.
The drive, which was unveiled in prototype form at a Samsung event in Taipei, has the same form factor as a 9.5-millimeter high 2.5-inch hard-disk drive for which it is designed to be a drop-in replacement. The latest prototype fo the disk has a read speed of 200M bytes per second (Bps) and a sequential write speed of 160M Bps.
The drive isn’t the first SSD launched at this capacity. Last month a competitor, U.S.-based Super Talent, began sales of a 256G byte SSD but that drive is thicker than Samsung’s at 12.5 millimeters. It has a SATA I interface, which means read speeds of 65M bytes per second and write speeds of 50M bytes per second.
