Samsung is once again at the forefront of technology, being the first in the industry to sample both 1.8″ and 2.5″ 64GB SSDs complete with an ultra fast SATA II/native SATA interface. This new SSD will boast a sequential write speed of 100MB/s and a sequential read speed of 120MB/s, courtesy of Samsung’s cutting-edge NAND technology with dramatically improved performance specs. The Samsung SATA II SSD brings together a 50 nm-class, single-level-cell (SLC) 8Gb flash chip with a Samsung proprietary, high-speed SATA controller and supporting software in order to achieve such performance figures. It is said that the new SATA II SSD is twice as fast as its SATA I predecessor with its 3Gbps interface speed, while consuming half as much power as the current 1.9 watts notebook hard drives currently gulp.
