Super Talent Offers Speedy SSD in Your Choice of MLC or SLC

Looking for more storage capacity in your Asus S101 netbook and prefer not the use the cloud? How do Super Talent’s newest SSD modules sound? The flash memory is embedded on a mini-PCIe board and can be had in three different capacities: 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB. Super Talent says that regardless of the capacity, each module offers maximum read and write speeds of 90MBps and 55MBps, respectively.

Each capacity is available for shipping now and won’t break your budget. MSRP for the 64GB module is $169, for example. Like most SSD modules in this price range, these are based on less-expensive MLC or Multi-Level Cell technology. I noticed in the PDF spec sheet Super Talent has these same modules with SLC memory, but there’s no price listed. Aside from lasting longer, the SLC modules are rated for higher reads and writes: 95MBps and 90MBps. If you want the faster SLC storage, you can only opt for 16GB or 32GB capacities for now.

Although these are specifically engineered for the Asus S101, they should work with any netbook offering mini-PCIe storage expansion.
