Samsung Announces 256GB SSD

The rise of ultraportables has triggered a race to develop ever-bigger solid-state drives, and Samsung is in the lead. Not only is their upcoming 256GB SSD twice as big as their previous model, it’s also twice as fast at 200MBps read and 160MBps write.
The drive uses multi-level cell (MLC) technology that’s cheaper to produce than traditional single-level cell SSDs. Samsung claims improvements to the drive controller will make this baby last as a hard drive, if not longer. 2.5-incher for traditional notebooks out in September, 1.8-incher for ultraportables in Q4.
