Samsung has started mass production 256GB solid state drives, for use in notebooks and desktop PCs.

These latest 256GB SSDs enhance the performance rates of the Samsung 64GB and 128GB SSDs by almost more than double, by boosting up the READ and WRITE rates, to become the SSD with the highest overall performance in the personal computer industry!
It combines sequential lightening fast read rates of 220MBPS with sequential write rates of 200MBPS, and its erase cycles are also very quick at about 100GBs per minute, delivering all round high-performance.
It also offers a high degree of energy efficiency, with power consumption of 1.1 watts while delivering outstanding reliability and durability.
The 256GB SSD also has very high operating speeds, translating longer periods in either stand-by or idle mode, and the result is 40 minutes of extended operation on a single battery charge!
It weight about 81 grams just like the 128GB SSDs and retains the standard 9.5 mm drive thickness.
It also comes with an optional proprietary encryption programming that provides total disk encryption, which is a key feature for many corporate users!
