Faster cheaper 256GB SSD for MacBook Air?
Over at AppleInsider they have news of the new Samsung 256GB solid-state drive that might suit the MacBook Air down to the ground. Apparently it's twice as fast and twice as big as previous SSDs - and cheaper, to boot (boom boom!)
According to AS:
"...the Serial ATA drive reads in-order data at 200MB per second, or double the rate of Samsung's past 128GB drive. It also boosts write speeds, often a bottleneck on solid-state drives, from 70MB per second to 160MB."
Not only that,
"...it has a new approach to multi-level cell storage that allegedly solves the problems of the format. The technology allows data to be much more densely packed, but has traditionally been slow and short-lived."
Sounds like it would be great for any MacBook, not just the MacBook Air. No prices mentioned but, as an extension of Moore's Law, SSD drives will get cheaper.
