Samsung Launched its new 256GB SSD
Samsung 256GB SSD
Samsung has started producing 256GB (SSDs) for notebooks and Desktop PCs. With a high speed drive up to sequential read rates of 220MB/s, sequential write rates of 200MB/s and the delete rates of 100GB/s. it offers now SSDs in 8Gb, 16GB and 23Gb for small designs and 64GB, 128GB and 256GB for the higher densities.
Sequential data transfers occur when PCs are booted or large files are copied, for example, Wong said. However, because most PC tasks are random rather than sequential it makes more sense to use random performance as a measure, Wong said, adding that random performance tends to suffer if the SSD is set up to measure sequential performance.
Samsung couldn’t immediately provide the measurements of the SSD’s random read and write cycle
Jim Elliott, vice president, Samsung Semiconductor, is using 256GB SSD in a notebook which is simillar to have a 15,000rpm drive.
The company said. It can store 25 high-definition movies in just 21 minutes! Amazing isn’t it?

The real question is… what controller does it use? The JMicron controller that made first gen SSD’s (except Intel) so crappy or does it have a new one?

PCworld just reported an MSRP of $650.

Yes, aerosquid, it has a new controller. The performance is comparable to Intel’s with a larger capacity.

And for the pricing?…think in terms of giga-bucks.

Wow. This story puts obsolescence to shame. Rapid innovations in technology make today’s wanderlust tomorrow’s crap.

Any idea how this one compares to the Intel X25-E with regards to webserver/database usage?

So where is this thing already? 2009 is almost half over and it’s still nowhere to be found lol.
