| Samsung's Blazing Fast SATA 3.0 512GB SSD |
New Samsung internal solid state
drives are headed your way in October promising blazing fast data transfer
rates of up to 6 gigabits per second thanks to the SSD's Serial ATA (SATA) 3.0
interface.
Samsung's new SSD 830 series will
come in 64, 128, 256 and 512GB storage sizes and will be sold as a 2.5-inch
drive. The full upgrade package for the SSD 830 also comes with a bracket to
fit into 3.5-inch desktop PC slots and Symantec's NortonGhost software. Samsung will also offer a notebook upgrade package
that includes a USB to SATA adapter cable. Pricing was not announced.
This is Samsung's second SSD
announcement in as many weeks. The company previously announced the PM830 SSD,
which appears to be the OEM version of the SSD 830 announced Wednesday. The
PM830 is available to computer makers now and comes in 128GB, 256 GB and 512GB
sizes.
During the PM830 announcement,
Samsung said the drive supports sequential read speeds of up to 500 megabytes
per second and write speeds of 350 MB/s. It's not clear if the SSD 830 will
support the same read/write speeds or perhaps be even faster. Samsung said the
PM830's performance would reduce a computer's boot time to about 10 seconds and
let you transfer up to 5 DVD video files in less than a minute. The PM830 also
features AES 256-bit data encryption, presumably the SSD 830 will do the same.
