Samsung’s 64GB Solid-State Drive

Just a couple of weeks ago Sandisk introduced a 32GB solid-state drive. Now Samsung has one-upped them, unveiling a 64GB solid-state drive. They are expecting to begin shipping in the second quarter of this year. Samsung says the device can read 64 MB/s, write 45 MB/s, and uses just 0.5 W when operating (0.1 W when idle). In comparison, an 80GB 1.8-inch hard drive reads at 15 MB/s, writes at 7 MB/s, and consumes 1.5 W when either operating or idle
