Samsung Unveils 1TB mSATA SSD

Just the other day I was talking SSD technology and the fact that Intel has announced plans to bring forth 2TB PCIe/2.5’’SSDs to the market, and here a few days later we see Samsung unveiling the world first 1TB mSATA SSD. It is so cool to see technology moving forward as that means that soon prices will drop to make way for newer tech. Samsung now has the bragging rights to the another market first with the 840 EVO mSATA 1TB SSD boasting a performance of 98,000 random reads and 90,000 random write IOPS with a sequential read speed of 540MB/S and write speeds of 520MB/s.
A spokesman for Samsung had the following to say regarding this latest news from the Korean giant: “With the new mSATA SSD line-up offering up to 1TB of memory and an optimized software tool, we expect that consumers can enjoy high storage volume and performance on ultra-slim notebooks besides desktop PCs,” said Unsoo Kim, senior vice president, memory brand product marketing, Samsung Electronics. ”We will continue to bring leading-edge SSD products and software solutions with improved quality and reliability, while working on offering higher consumer satisfaction and strengthening competitiveness of our branded memory business.”
The 840 EVO mSATA SSD is built upon Samsung’s 128GB NAND Flash memory that is also based on the 10mm manufacturing process. With the extreme density being offered by this memory, this allows Samsung to fit 16 layers of 128GB chips totaling 1TB for the most memory ever seen on an mSATA. mSATA is a great product for using as the BOOT drive for your PC as it frees up a SATA controller and allows direct access from the motherboard for better performance. This new bad boy is also very small as it weighs in at a slight 8.5 grams and is just 3.85mm thick.  When this product hits the market I will be all Gung-Ho about it, as I love the speed and access times of an SSD, and with mSATA it’s smaller, faster and doesn’t take up any additional space in your case. Thanks for reading Tech Of Tomorrow my friends, Happy Tuesday everybody.
