Thread: SSD: the return of Phison?

A novel flash drive just landed in the shopping district in Japan. This format is 2 inches and a half; it takes a Serial ATA interface and offers 32, 64, or 128 GB capacity. Under the hood, then found the flash memory MLC original Toshiba and a new controller Phison! The advertised speeds are 210 Mb / s read and 150MB / s write. No cache is mentioned unfortunately, we did not advance to say that the controller does not support, but it is certainly not a good sign on this point.

If this new Phison is up to his arrival could be good in the SSD market, lower prices of controllers may slightly offset the rising price of flash memory. The current rates of the model seen in Japan are equivalent to 85, 145 and 275 € or more correct rate without being given excellent reputation Phison.
