Fixtar To Ship 6TB SSD This Summer
Adding a solid-state drive to your PC may be one of the most powerful upgrades you can perform, but there’s been a catch: They simply don’t offer the capacity of a spinning hard drive. That could change.
Japanese drive manufacturer Fixstar plans to offer a 6-terabyte SSD in July, essentially adding the capacity advantage of hard disks to the faster SSDs.
The drives are shipping in a 2.5-inch form factor, which means they’ll serve as drop-in replacements to your existing notebook drives. Prices will not be low - you'll need about $800 for an 1TB SSD that the occompany has announced earlier this year so imagine that the 6TB version will cost even more.
The new SSD-6000M wil use 15nm MLC NAND and it should giv eyou sequential read/write speeds of 540/520 MB/s.
