Plextor has announced a new line of SSDs, the M5S Series. The drives are based on a Marvell 88SS9174 controller and use 25nm-based NAND flash, which helps read and write speeds hit 520MB/s and 390MB/s respectively. Random read and write speeds are rated at 73,000 and 70,000 IOPS. Plextor is aiming the drives at those looking to make the jump from traditional hard drives to solid state drives for the first time.

Three capacities of the drive will be offered: 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The 64GB model will cost around £78 (~$122), the 128GB drive will be £126 (~$197), and the 256GB will command a £220 (~$345) price tag. Plextor will also be offering its PlexTools software for free, allowing customers to upgrade firmwares when there are updates, plus monitor the drives for any problems.

Plextor say that the drives should be available to buy towards the end of July from various retailers. If you’re in the market for a new solid state drive or you’re making the jump for the first time, maybe give these a look.

SSD prices continue to fall, and while large capacity drives are still out of reach, more modest offerings have reached the point of being suitable for small servers. SuperTalent is hoping administrators will look towards its wares, announcing the new SATA3 SuperNova SSD series. SuperTalent is pitching the SSDs as being super reliable while featuring a silicone padding that makes the drives run cooler than other solutions.

The company is also saying that the drives are secure and fast, with fast access times and “write endurances.” The company has failed to provide any kind of speeds for the drives, but previous models have hit around 540MB/s read speeds and 510MB/s write speeds. The old models also achieved random write 4KB IOPS of around 75,000.

SuperTalent will be offering two capacities for now, 128GB and 256GB. Just like the drive speeds, the company has neglected to say exactly how much the drives will cost. If you’re a mysterious individual and appreciate SuperTalent’s secrecy, the drives are shipping today with a three year warranty. Just don’t ask us where you can get them, because the company didn’t mention that either.

Intel has been offering SSDs for a long time now in versions aimed at enterprise use and the general consumer. Intel has announced that it has added a new SSD model to its 330 series that has 240 GB of storage. The SSD uses 6 Gb/s technology and promises impressive performance. The 230 series has sustained read speeds of up to 500 MB/s and sustained writes up to 450 MB/s.

The series uses 25nm MLC Intel NAND flash memory and is validated for three years of useful life. The new 240 GB capacity 330 series SSD and the other SSDs in the series are available in a retail box package that includes the needed SATA cables and a 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch drive adapter allowing the SSD to be installed in a desktop computer.

Intel has also announced that it has reduced pricing on some of its SSDs, including the SSD 520 series, the 330 series, and the 320 series products. Sadly, Intel offers no details on the specific price cuts for the products. The new 240 GB SSD should be available now.

Intel has just announced that it is introducing a new 240GB version of its Series 330 solid state drive (SDD). At the same time, the company is lowering the maximum suggested price (MRSP) on previous models in the 330 Series, but also the 520 Series and 320 Series.

The new Series 330 240GB will come at $194 MRSP, but we’ll have to see if online prices get lower than this. With this offering, Intel breaks the $1/GB barrier, just like the industry predicted last year, and we expect pretty much every SSD manufacturer to get there by year’s end.

The good news is that this is not over. Moore’s law dictates that prices will continue to plunge, while capacity rises. In the meantime, expect more and more computers to use SSD drives to accelerate file access and as it stands, this is still one of the best upgrade that a computer can get.
