Samsung's Solid-State Disk Drive Unveiled

Posted by kdawson on Thursday December 14, 2006 @04:07AM from the fast-and-flashy dept.

Iddo Genuth writes "After unveiling their upcoming hybrid hard drive, Samsung — along with a number of other manufacturers — is planning to begin shipping solid-state drives during 2007. Unlike the upcoming hybrids, solid-state drives should work with windows XP as well as Vista." The drives will be introduced in 1.8- and 2.5-inch form factors for notebooks. While streaming performance can't equal that of hard disks, Samsung claims that random-access performance is more important and that (e.g.) Vista users would see a 4x speedup in many key operations. Pricing was not announced.

The best mobile phone I ever owned was a Samsung. I look forward to buying from them again.
