G.Skill presents the SandForce-powered Phoenix series solid state disks at CeBIT. These units will pack 50GB, 100GB, and 200GB of MLC NAND flash memory and offer read speeds of up to 200MB/s and write speeds of up to 141MB/s.

ts USP is the SandForce SF-1200 SSD controller. With its MLC NAND chips, the controller can churn out transfer speeds of 200 MB/s read, and 141 MB/s write. When used with Windows 7 operating system, the SSDs offer TRIM support, a feature which uses idle time to erase deleted data which could otherwise consume many write cycles, also working towards reducing data fragmentation.
