Silicon Power Releases 256GB SSD
Print
Silicon Power announced this morning that they have plans to release a 2.5-inch SATA II SSD that will weigh in at a sizeable 256GB.
Doubling the size of their already notable 128GB SSD released previously, the new 256GB version will feature faster read speeds of 165MB/second and write speeds of 98MB/second. Sadly, the drive has a Jmicrion JMF602 controller, which doesn’t play well with SSDs unless it ships with revision B of the very same chip. No word yet on whether or not this is the case.
According to Silicon Power “Customers can easily install the SSD in laptops, PCs or other devices that support SATA II SSD. Silicon Power 2.5” SSD with SATA II or IDE interface is fully compatible with RoHS requirement, with capacities ranging from 8GB to 256GB.”
No word yet on pricing or availability.

Awesome, a 256 GB SSD with decent speeds for an SSD. Too bad my money is going to OCZ for a 250 GB SDD with 200 mbs per second read, and 150 mbs per second writes. That even beats an X-25M, but nothing can touch an X-25E.
