Super Talent Launches new Solid State Drives

Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today launched a new line of MasterDrive solid state drives (SSDs) that are 100% interchangeable with hard disk drives (HDDs), but are faster, lighter, use less power and are far more rugged and reliable.

MasterDrive SSDs use NAND Flash rather than magnetic platters as the storage medium, giving them many advantages over HDDs. These drives have no moving parts, and therefore are completely silent, lighter weight and more reliable than HDDs. Moreover, they consume a fraction of the power of HDDs, meaning they produce less heat and offer longer battery life in mobile computing. MasterDrive SSDs use a SATA-II (3Gbps) interface to support high bandwidth and broad compatibility with motherboards, and have a standard 2.5-inch form factor. Proprietary wear-leveling algorithms extend the life of these SSDs.

MasterDrive MX	Description	MSRP
FTM20GK25H	120GB MLC 120/40 MB/sec	$699
FTM60GK25H	60GB MLC 120/40 MB/sec	$449
FTM30GK25H	30GB MLC 120/40 MB/sec	$299
MasterDrive DX	Description	MSRP
FTD60GK25H	60GB SLC 120/70 MB/sec	$1299
FTD30GK25H	30GB SLC 120/70 MB/sec	$699
