As we mentioned it yesterday, there is a new announcement in the SSD fields almost every day. Today, SuperTalent unveiled a new series of entry-level SSD, with aggressive prices: 64 GB storage space for 170 USD and 128 GB for 299 USD.
Of course for reaching such a low cost, performance are affected, not the reading speed with 100 MB/s, but writing speed limited to 40 MB/s, a value lower than the one recorded for most high performance 2.5 " HDs (spinning at 5400 or 7200 rpm with 8 to 16 MB of cache).
