Dell to start offering 64GB and 128GB SSD drives

Dell has announced that they would now start offering 2.5-inch SATA 64GB SSD in their notebooks.

Dell added that Alienware models would also offer these disks. These Solid State Disks are being provided by Samsung.

Jim Elliott, director, flash marketing, Samsung Semiconductor spoke on this new development: “The greater reliability and higher performance of solid state drives makes them a highly viable alternative to hard drives in corporate and high-end consumer notebooks. We’re delighted that Dell and Alienware have chosen the Samsung 64GB SSD for their latest generation of leading-edge notebooks.”

Alienware would also be providing configurations in 128GB SSD capacity by offering dual 64GB SSD drives in a RAID 0 array.

Bryan de Zayas, Associate Director of Product Marketing at Alienware added: “After previously being first to market with a dual 32GB RAID 0 SSD configuration, Alienware has achieved another milestone in mobile storage by being the first to deliver a dual 64GB SSD RAID 0 configuration and the first to combine a single 64GB SSD with a second larger capacity hard drive. This gives Alienware notebook users unprecedented data access and storage flexibility and allows them to take advantage of rapid performance, rugged reliability and maximum power efficiency all at once.”
