Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced that it is now shipping the MasterDrive RX family of Solid State Drives (SSDs) in capacities up to 512 GB.
The MasterDrive RX features Super Talent's proprietary RAIDSSD Technology to enable extremely fast sequential read and write speeds. The MasterDrive RX with MLC NAND Flash comes in 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB densities and is rated for a maximum sequential read speed of 230 MB/sec and a maximum sequential write speed of 160 MB/sec. The MasterDrive RX with SLC Flash comes in 128 GB and 256 GB densities and is rated for a maximum sequential read speed of 230 MB/sec and a maximum sequential write speed of 200 MB/sec.

Jeremy Werner, senior product marketing manager at Super Talent, stated "The MasterDrive RX is the latest product utilizing our patented RAIDSSD Technology. This product is great! From a performance standpoint it's like having two SSDs in the space of one, and it extends our standard 2.5" SATA-II product line to include a 512GB SSD." The 512GB MasterDrive RX retails for under $1500.

All these products are designed to be compatible with all known operating systems including Windows, Linux, and OSX. Super Talent backs the SLC versions with a 3-year warranty and the MLC versions with a 2-year warranty.

demonbrawnWould it be possible to setup a personal rig with an SSD as your main Windows loaded drive, then use a nice high capacity HDD as your storage device? If so, that's what I would do (when the prices finally drop to reasonable levels).
That's what I do and it's the perfect balance! It's also the future!;)

230/200, damn thats nice. But, I think I'll wait until until the tech goes down in price. It's come down ALOT in the last year and this will just encourage other companies to jump on the high capacity band wagon. I think I'll just build a new rig now and get two or three to RAID together when they go down in price. Plus, yeah they're great for applications like photoshoppe, and firefox but on anandtech.com, they proved that in most cases, a single ssd only performs marginally better in loading games, at least for the intel drives.
