Computex 08 is already underway in Taipei and brings with it a plethora of hardware releases. The first one off the block, is SuperTalent who has introduced a new lineup of "affordable" SATA-II 2.5" SSDs. The price for their 128 GB SSD is $679, which is significantly cheaper than the competition whose products cost in the thousands of dollars.  The new Micro-SATA MasterDrive KX SSDs are just 5mm thick and are available in capacities of 30GB, 60GB, and 120GB. The SSDs are priced at $299, $449, and $679 respectively. These drives are based on a 1.8" design, feature read speeds of 120MB/sec and write speeds of impressive 40MB/sec.


"In terms of performance, power consumption and shock and vibration resistance, the MasterDrive KX is substantially better than hard drives. The MasterDrive KX is an excellent upgrade for laptop users looking for greater reliability or to accelerate bootup and load times," said Joe James, Super Talent Marketing Director.
