Toshiba announced the launch of its new 128GB SSD (Solid State Drive) in Japan, and it is expected to be in the market by the Q1 (first quarter) of the 2008. While on the other hand Super Talent has already launched its 3.5 inch 256GB SSD in USA. But if you are going to see CES 2008 then you can easily have a look at these. Toshiba will be offering both SATA-2 SSD as well as SATA-2 drives in 1.8" and 2.5" form factors in 32 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB storage capacities. The maximum read speed of the SSD products is rated at 100 MB/s, the maximum write speed is 40MB/s with a SATA-2 interface. The operating life of the drive could be near about estimated at 1,000,000 hours.
Toshiba said that SSDs are able to remove NAND flash produced in 56 nm technology and can be integrate an original MLC controller that can support fast speeds, parallel data transfers and wear leveling, and can achieve performance levels that can be comparable to those of single level NAND flash SSDs. The multi level cells was key to achieve a density of 128 GB, the firm noted.
