The company says that the 1.8-inch flash-SSD is based on an 8 gigabit (Gb) single-level-cell (SLC) Nand, which provides significantly higher peIt is learnt that the flash-SSD is a secure and reliable means of storing personal or work-related data.
It uses instantly-accessible, non-moving Nand flash memory instead of the noisier, power-hungry, jarring-sensitive rotating disc found in conventional hard drives, thus allowing uploading and downloading of data quickly and quietly using minimum power. Samsung also claims that the read and write performance of the new SLC flash-SSD have been increased by 20 percent and 60 percent respectively over the 32GB flash-SSD, which was introduced last year.
Therefore, its ability to outperform conventional rotating-media hard drives is even greater than had been anticipated. The company believes that it's continued nano-technology migration is a key-enabling factor in the continued market segmentation for storage media.
Besides the use of 64 GB flash-SSD for notebook PCs, 8 to 16GB flash-SSDs will become viable solutions for use in personal navigation systems and digital camcorders, as will hundred GB-level flash-SSDs for use in the server market. Samsung plans to start the mass production of the 1.8-inch type 64GB flash-SSD in the second quarter of this year. rformance over conventional SSDs.
