64GB SSD drive now available in CD-R King
Posted by Scout on February 15, 2009
Early this morning, I saw this picture on the front page of CD-R King’s website: a re-branded external 64GB SDD drive, with SATA and USB 2.0 interfaces. It looks like they’re experimenting on putting out affordable solid state disk drives, which is a move I welcome. I haven’t even seen SSDs being offered on Gilmore shops, but maybe I wasn’t looking hard enough.
Price is the number one reason this type of drive isn’t popular yet locally, but recent significant price drops mean we’ll probably be seeing more of these later in the year. The website lists the drive as selling for P5,800, which seems reasonable, but it’s still more than twice the price of conventional spin-type hard drives. Does the promise of more ruggedness, speed, and power-saving justify the premium?
Not much info is listed on the product page for now, but I do hope someone buys it and put up a review soon. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for this one.
