SuperTalent launches cheap SSDs, 128GB for less than $300
Written by Andreas G 30 September 2008 11:24

SuperTalent has made an update to its consumers SSD lineup with two models in the new MasterDrive LX series. The MasterDrive family holds many series using both SLC and MLC NAND flash for either speed or affordability. MasterDrive LX uses the latter kind and the specifications are reflected by that. The only difference between the two models is the storage capacity, 64GB vs. 128GB, while the sequential read and write rates are the same; 100MB/s and 40MB/s respectively.

The really interesting about these drives is the price. SuperTalent says that the prices will be around $179 for the 64GB model and $299 for the 128GB. This is a big price drop for 128GB models and we wouldn't be surprised if these become a popular purchase among the early SDD adopters.

Excerpt from the press release;
"Backed with Super Talent’s 1-year warranty, the MasterDrive LX is built with NAND flash and uses a SATA-II 3Gbps interface that makes it 100% interchangeable with hard disk drives. These SSDs support sequential read speeds of up to 100 MB/sec, and sequential write speeds of up to 40 MB/sec. Integrated ECC, wear leveling and bad bit management functions dramatically improve the reliability and lifespan of these SSDs."
