Via Super Talent: “Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today launched a pair of 256GB Serial ATA (SATA) solid state drives (SSDs).

Super Talent’s new FSD56GC35M is 100% interchangeable with standard 3.5-inch SATA hard disk drives, but offers all the advantages of an SSD including greater resistance to shock and vibration, significantly lower power consumption and faster performance. FSD56GC35M supports a 0C to 70C operating temperature range. Super Talent also offers an industrial temperature (I-Temp) version of this drive, SS56GA6C35I, which supports an extended -40C to 85C operating temperature range. All I-Temp rated SSDs are tested at their rated temperature extremes to ensure functionality.

Super Talent Marketing Director, Joe James commented, “We’re using our expertise in flash technology and our own controller to develop maximum density solid state storage solutions. This may well be the world’s highest capacity SSD available today. It’s a big addition to our already broad line of SSD products that firmly positions Super Talent as the market leader”.

Backed with a three year warranty, these 256GB SSDs are designed and manufactured in Super Talent’s San Jose, California headquarters. Super Talent sells its SSDs directly to OEM customers worldwide. Both products are sampling now. Pricing is available on request.“

Obviously this is too costly for practical purposes, but nevertheless it’s good to see progress on the size of SSDs. The future is completely in the hands of drives without any moving parts, as the ASUS EEE PC has shown you don’t need a standard HDD to sell like hotcakes.
