Samsung has announced the PM830, a successor to the SSD used in the MacBook Air, reports AnandTech.
The new 6Gbps SATA drive boasts read/write speeds of 500MB/s read and 350MB/s write.
Samsung is claiming up to 500MB/s reads and 350MB/s writes, both very impressive numbers if they're accurate. Supporting 2x-nm Toggle NAND should help drive costs down in the long run as well, similar to what we saw with the 25nm ONFI move that Intel and SandForce partners made this year.
AnandTech notes that the PM830 features AES-256 encryption for all data written to the NAND and comes in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB capacities. The drive is now shipping to OEMs and will be available to consumers in the near future.
