The Samsung Mobile Solution Forum was the occasion for the South Korean manufacturer to present an SSD with a capacity of 256 GB and with sequential reading/writing speeds of 200 and 160 MB /s, respectively.
The company announced that this was accomplished using MLC chips and a controller which functions with proprietary technology. Of course, the interface is SATA-II type and the drive is in 2" ½ format. In terms of power consumption, it doesn’t surpass 0.9W in "active mode" which is indeed interesting for an SSD based on MLC.
No price was given and the first samples for clients are planned for September while a 1.8" format version should be available in the fourth quarter.
