Solid State Disc Drives (SSD) are already available in the market in place of hard discs in laptop computers, even if this technology is slightly immature and with some limitations (and also higher costs) so HDDs are still the better performing data storage system available. According to a news publiched at Tech-On, MTRON announced faster SSDs featuring recording at 80 MBps and reading at 100 MBps, and then 1.5 to 3 times faster than those current standard SSDs.

According to MTRON's Sales Division General Manager Kim Nam-Ryeol, recording and reading speeds was obtained in the following way:

Our SSD features flash memory divided into four chip groups. It divides a data stream into four and records or reads them in parallel. In addition, we have enhanced performance of the data transmission bus compared with our existing model.

Furthermore, we could avoid bottleneck in the data transmission caused by wear leveling by optimizing the algorithm of wear leveling technology used to extend a service life by making accesses not concentrate on specific cells.

If (Multi Level Cell) flash memory is used, we will be able to lower pricing by about 40% compared with SLC (Single Level Cell) memory-based SSDs.
