Toshiba has just announced that it will be unveiling a new 256 GB SSD. Using MLC Flash chips, this 2.5" SSD is stated as having a read speed of 120 MB/s and a write speed of 70 MB/s, which is nothing special in terms of what is now available on SSDs. The first THNS256GE8BC samples are tabled for this month and mass production will begin in the last quarter.
No prices have been given yet, but seeing that the price of MLC memory was halved during the summer, it ought to be “reasonable”. An 8GB MLC chip is currently priced between $13 and $14, around half the price of a 2GB SLC chip!
