Super Talent rolls out 256GB SSD
Posted on Dec 4, 07 06:58 PM PDT
Super Talent has just launched the highest capacity SATA SSD in the world with its 256GB FSD56GC35M which is fully interchangeable with standard 3.5" SATA hard drives while bearing all the advantages of an SSD such as greater resistance to shock and vibration, lower power consumption and superior performance. The FSD56GC35M has an operating range between 0C to 70C, while harsher operating environments can always benefit from the industrial temperature (I-Temp) version of this drive (SS56GA6C35I) which can hold its own in an extended -40C to 85C operating temperature range. Each of these Super Talent 256GB SSDs come with a three year warranty.

I think I will wait another year or so when some of the performance issues have been sorted and prices/capacities get better...
However, an SSD was tested in a PS3 and the loading times on Oblivion when going from outside world to inside world was virtually elimenated. No HDD (on whatever PC someone could make) will ever reproduce that kind of performace so the future of SSD looks extremely promising.

Jeffimix, you're right, "superior performance" might have been a poor choice of words. SSDs are mainly great for latency, seek-time and battery life. Thanks for contributing.

"Superior Performance" is relative. Solid State memory has superior seek times, however it also has noticeably inferior raw data read times.
This means, for example, reading three hundred files of ~8K might be much faster*. Reading 10 megabytes of continuous data will be slower.
*Especially assuming those files are not defragmented, if they were defragmented on a magnetic disk the speed differences would be considerably smaller.
