Mtron ready for a high speed 128GB SSD
Posted February 18th, 2008 by Alex Ion
The Koreans from Mtron announced today that they’ve managed to develop a new 1.8-inch hard drive in their SSD line. They are proudly telling us that a faster 128GB SSD is in the works using the Single Level Cell (SLC) technology instead of the denser but slower Multi Level Cell (MLC) technology.
The new Mtron 128GB SSD is supposed to be able to read at 120MBps and write at 100MBps. Since it’s a SSD which means it has less moving parts power consumption is cut in half. Al-Gore fans, that’s a good thing, right?
I can only find one problem here. What if your desktop computer is not fast enough to keep up with it, because this baby is able to write six times faster than a normal HDD! We’ll find out more about it in April, when it’s going to be released. So far I have no price for it, but it should be expensive.
