Toshiba to make 128GB solid state drive

WOO HOO! Competition means cheaper prices!

I wish they would get theire act together and build one that can actually hammer the WD raptor in ALL benchmarks though.

WD Raptor

There is one that will hammer the Raptor in all tests but it does also hammer a whole the size of the ozone in your wallet! Mtron SSD 32Gbs but thats $1,500 worth of flash! http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/11/21/mtron_ssd_32_gb/

Cool. Now how about the performance not sucking :)

I'm glad to see more companies jumping on this route. However, even tho SSD devices like the MTRON are finally geting close to the performance of a WD Raptor, they aren't anywhere close to where it needs to be to really compell enthusiasts to take the jump. I want 500MB+/sec out of an SSD. I'm just not excited yet.

I'm keeping my hopes up for the IO Drive which claims 600MB/sec at $30/GB. Since they are using Micron Technologies flash, rumor has it they will break the $10/GB price in 2009.
