Samsung has started producing 256GB (SSDs) for notebooks and Desktop PCs. With a high speed drive up to sequential read rates of 220MB/s, sequential write rates of 200MB/s and the delete rates of 100GB/s. it offers now SSDs in 8Gb, 16GB and 23Gb for small designs and 64GB, 128GB and 256GB for the higher densities.

Sequential data transfers occur when PCs are booted or large files are copied, for example, Wong said. However, because most PC tasks are random rather than sequential it makes more sense to use random performance as a measure, Wong said, adding that random performance tends to suffer if the SSD is set up to measure sequential performance.

Samsung couldn’t immediately provide the measurements of the SSD’s random read and write cycle

Jim Elliott, vice president, Samsung Semiconductor, is using 256GB SSD in a notebook which is simillar to have a 15,000rpm drive.

The company said. It can store 25 high-definition movies in just 21 minutes! Amazing isn’t it?
