64GB SATA II SSD, Samsung Expands Its Line of Solid State Drives

The high premium that one has to pay for solid state drives, doesn’t seem to be pulling customers back from stores. It’s an endless race of new companies venturing into the market for flash based solid state storage and coming up with up-to-the-minute products.

To solidify its presence in the SDD market, Samsung has announced introduction of 64GB SSD both in 1.8” as well as 2.5” format. However the chief element of the breaking news is that these latest drives follow SATA II interface, which takes the write and read speed of solid disk drives into the next level. To be more specific, SATA II offers a sequential write speed of 100MB/s over 45MB/s available in SATA I interface, and sequential read speed of 120 MB per second over 60 MB/s available earlier on.

At the same time, the latest 64GB SSD features enhanced power saving and will only consume half of what was required earlier on in solid state drives.

While demand for SSD’s continues to grow exponentially, Samsung stays at the top front of technological innovations, delivering avant-garde solutions.
