Super Talent, Toshiba Team Up to Make SSD
Another SSD option for you to consider.
The SSD offerings have just gotten bigger with a new co-branded drive from Super Talent and Toshiba.
The two companies this week announced a new SSD line, dubbed the UltraDrive DX, that is designed for reliability and security.
Super Talent detailed in a press release that the first level of security for the UltraDrive DX is an encrypted password. The second level of protection the DX incorporates is new hardware data randomization technology, which happens automatically with every write to the drive to prevent unauthorized copying of blocks of data.
Hardware data randomization does not affect the drive's performance, which is quoted at sequential read speeds of up to 230 MB/sec and sequential write speeds of up to 180 MB/sec.
“As the first Toshiba co-branded SSD on the market, UltraDrive DX features a Toshiba controller and Toshiba’s MLC NAND flash memories.The DX provides superb security and reliability features combined with cutting edge performance in both read and write speeds”, explained Super Talent Director of Marketing, Joe James.

There is a long way before quality SSDs like this hit 1£/GB... I'm hoping for a 2£/GB price - and then a 30GB OCZ Vertex for 60£ - that would be sweet
Crucial M225 64GB £130 = £2.03/GB
As Rab1d-BDGR; £1/GB is where things get interesting.
I have an SSD in my desktop PC as a boot drive. But until price is < £1/GB then I can't justify one in my laptop. £100 for 128GB SSD upgrade for a laptop/notebook would be a tipping point IMHO. The again when price < £0.25/GB for single desktop HD replacement. *hopefull* it's just a matter of time.
