Samsung Electronics announced today that it has developed a 1.8-inch 64GB flash memory-based solid state drive (SSD) at its annual Mobile Solution Forum in Taipei. The new flash-SSD is based on an eight gigabit single-level-cell (SLC) NAND, which provides significantly higher performance over conventional SSDs, according to company.
“The read and write performance of the new SLC flash-SSD have been increased by 20 percent and 60 percent respectively over the 32GB flash-SSD Samsung introduced last year, meaning that the new SSD’s ability to outperform conventional rotating-media hard drives is even greater than had been anticipated,” the press release says.
Samsung plans to start mass production of the 1.8-inch 64GB flash-SSD in the second quarter of this year.
“The SSD market is expected to reach US$200 million in 2007 and increases to US$6.8 billion by 2010 - an impressive compound annual growth rate of over 200 percent,” according to Samsung.
The 1.8-inch solid-state drives are designed for use in consumer electronics products, as well as in sub-notebooks and ultra-mobile PCs.
