Solid State Drive From Intel

Although small, Solid State Drive (SSD) will have a capacity equal or even greater than the conventional hard disk. This is evidenced by Intel with produces SSD that have same size with a normal hard disk. This time Intel producing SSD with 320GB capacity with preparation that has been conducted since January.

Later this product will be known as the Postville SSD Family from Intel, which is expected to have a friendly price when released to the market. Besides 320GB capacity, Intel also producing SSD with 160GB and 80GB capacity at $ 100 price range. This price is certainly cheaper than Intel's X25-M SSD with the same capacity that has been present at first.

With the emergence of SSD from Intel, this means adding a new competitor in the SSD market because Intel previously known as processor producing. With new products, Intel will brisk competition for the SSD is still have a limited capacity.

Green-House SSDs

SSD is now getting much attention from many vendors. In addition to the capacity the longer growing, SSD can be the alternative choice to replace the hard disk is vulnerable to impact. Recently, the original Japanese manufacturer SSD, Green-House launched 2 portable IDE SSDs, each with a size of 1.8 and 2.5 inch with the additional PATA interface. Both SSDs is coming with a capacity of 16, 32, 64 and 128 Gb.

Size 1.8 inch ZIF ATA interface using is capable of achieving write speeds up to 65 MBps and read speeds up to 55 MBps. For 2.5 inch size is also a speed that is almost the same as the 1.8 inch, 2.5 inch size difference using the old PATA interface (44-in IDE). Available in both SLC and MLC architecture.

The presence of two new SSD provides the opportunity on the user's desktop PC or notebook that is still using PATA as interfacenya, to be able to try new SSD made this Green-House. Although the actual interface PATA enough because they are now replaced with a SATA interface.

Corsair P128 and P64 SSD

Later SSD technology is growing rapidly. With the size of a small, but even more storage capacity increases. Meanwhile, in terms of durability, impact-resistant SSD more than hard disks in general. Corsair, one of the world's leading vendors of computer memory, power supplies and computer accessories to bring back high performance SSD with 2 variants, P128 and P64, after the previous series p256.

Featuring high-levels of performance, the new P128 and P64 from Corsair are to provide a more affordable alternative to current SSDs. In accordance with the name, p128 variants have 128Gb capacity while P64 with a 64GB capacity. The Corsair P128 delivers 220MB/s and 200MB/s read speeds at a lower cost compared to P256 model. The P64 is one of the best-performing, lower-density SSDs available, with read speeds of up to 220MB/s and write speeds of up to 120MB/s. Both drives utilize a sophisticated Samsung IC controller with 128MB of memory cache and NCQ support to deliver class-leading, stutter-free performance.

Combination inherent stability and reliability of flash technology make P128 and P64 to be an ideal choice for those who need additional storage capacity, both the computer desktop and notebooks.
