Maxflash launches speedy Rapstore SSD's

German manufacturer Maxflash has added a number of solid state drives to its line-up in the form of the Rapstore series. These SSD's will be released in capacities of 64, 128 and 256 GB and use a STA 3 Gbps connector. The SSD is aimed towards the performance market segment, as it uses an Indilinx IDX110M00-LC 'Barefoot' controllerchip which, in combination with the 64 MB of writing cache allows the SSD to reach speeds of 230 MB/s and 160 MB/s for respectively reading and writing.

The memory chips used in these Rapstore SSD's are manufactured by Samsung and are of the relatively cheap MLC type. Maxflash estimates the impact resistancy of the disk to be 1500G. With a standard 2.5" chassis and a weigh of 80 grams, the disk is perfectly suited for use in notebooks. Maxflash bundles a three-year warranty plan with its Raptsore disks. The company has yet to disclose any information regarding pricing and availability.
