Samsung recently announced that they've started sampling their 1.8" and
2.5" 64GB solid state drives (SSD). These new drives feature a super-fast SATA II interface, giving them a sequential write speed of
100MBps and a sequential read speed of 120MBps.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced memory technology,
has become the first in the industry to sample 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch 64Gigabyte (GB) solid state drives (SSD) with a super-fast SATA
(Serial ATA) II/native SATA interface. With a sequential write speed of 100Megabyte per second (MBps) and sequential read speed of
120MBps, the SATA II SSD is poised to expand the market for solid state drives from notebook PCs to corporate servers and other
high-performance storage applications.
“The 64GB SATA II SSD is based on Samsung’s cutting-edge NAND technology with
dramatically improved performance specs that are taking system performance to a whole new level of efficiency,” said Jim Elliott,
