Shortly on the heels of Toshiba’s propping up of SanDisk to gain some leverage in the SSD market against giant Samsung, Toshiba has announced that it will be bringing a new lineup of NAND-flash-based solid state drives to market in the first quarter of 2009. Claiming the industry’s first 2.5-inch 512GB SSD, based on 43 nanometer Multi-Level Cell NAND, Toshiba Semiconductor VP Kiyoshi Kobayashi stated “This new 43nm SSD family balances value/performance characteristics for its targeted consumer applications, through use of MLC NAND and an advanced controller architecture.”
The drives maximum sequential read speed is 240MB ps, with a maximum sequential write speed of 200MBps. Mass production isnt supposed to begin until the second quarter of 09.
