Super Talent has introduced the TeraDrive CT, a new series of 2.5" solid state disks based on the SandForce 1222 SSD processor. These disks are available in capacities of 60GB to 480GB and promise to deliver read speeds of up to 285MB/s and write speeds of up to 275MB/s.
Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced immediate availability of the new TeraDrive CT SSD, which uses the SandForce 1222 SSD processor to deliver astounding performance in laptops and desktops.
The new TeraDrive CT has a standard SATA-II 3Gbps interface. It delivers sequential read and write speeds up to 285 and 275 MB/sec respectively. Built-in Garbage Collection and TRIM support ensure sustainable performance over the life of the drive, without degradation.
The TeraDrive CT features RAISE™ technology for enhanced reliability and DuraWrite™ technology for significantly increased endurance, state-of-the-art wear leveling, bad block management, and excellent ECC with up to 24 symbols correctable per 512 byte sector. The TeraDrive CT, built with MLC NAND flash, uses new improved firmware that yields greater usable capacity than earlier 1222 based SSDs. It is offered in capacities from 60GB to 480GB.
Joe James, Director of Marketing at Super Talent stated, “The TeraDrive CT is now our fastest desktop/laptop upgrade SSD. It has an amazing feature set combined with exceptional sequential and random transfer speeds and best-in-class reliability.” TeraDrive CT SSDs are available now through Super Talent resellers worldwide.
Super Talent says the 60GB, 120GB and 240GB units will soon be available for $199, $349, and $669, respectively. A 480GB model will also ship, but the price of this model is unknown.
