Another manufacturer has thrown its hat into the ever expanding, fantastically dull realm of solid state drive development. This time it’s Micron, which today announced that it plans to release a 256GB SSD early next year.
And just to keep things interesting, Micron claims, while puffing its chest out and standing on its tippy toes, that its 256GB SSD can read data at 250MBps, to Samsung’s measly 220 Mbps. (But Samsung’s can write faster, 200MBps to Micro’s 100 MBps.)
Can you imagine an iPhone, or other trendy consumer device, with 256GB of space to play around with. Think of all the Blu-ray rips you could fit on that.
Do we really need large SSD’s with fast read/write speeds? What if we have maybe a 32GB SSD for quick access things (OS, Browser, common utilities) and then a larger SSD with slower access speeds for storing movies, photos, etc.?
It’s not a big deal for everyday use, but that kind of read speed would really be helpful for HD video editing. Working with 4K footage is a lot easier off a couple SSDs. Same with games, they’re passing a TON of information from drive to video memory.
I hear what you’re saying, but I also think it’s important to open the doors for future innovation, even if what we have is good enough for now.
hi Nicholas
We, PhotoFast, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions,announced that we’re going to release a series of solid state drives (SSDs) named G-Monster.G-Monster-V2 , which is able to support the capacities up to 256GB
and support 1.5/3.0Gbps SATA I/II interface with read speed up to 230mb, write speed up to 160mb.
we would like to provide you more its informaiton, would you mind providing us your email?
many thanks!
