Imation SSDs Available

The solid state drives market is still smaller than the "traditional" hard discs one, but things will change in a few years, that's no guess, it's something obvious. Anyway, until that moment comes, we'll slowly see new producers joining the crowd of SSD manufacturers, and today the time has come for Imation...

New Imation SSDs

Widely known for its optical and tape storage media, announced today a few SSDs that are going to be sold under their own brand name. Imation's SSDs are build using drives of the South Korean Mtron Company, a SSD pioneer. For now, Imation's available SSD models are the MOBI 3000 for end users, and the PRO 7000 series, mainly targeted at the enterprise and corporate market.

The Imation SSD MOBI 3000 offers maximum read speeds of 100MB per second, write speeds of up to 80MB per second, while the random access time is as low as 0.1ms, making it the fastest SSD available for the consumer market.

At last, the PRO 7000 series is even faster, with read speed of up to 120MB per second, write speeds as high as 90MB/s, and random access time even lower than 0.1ms. Just as a side note, this product's MTBF is greater than 1 million hours!

Obviously, these products don't come cheap yet, since the MSRP is $699.99 and $1,159.99 respectively for a 32GB model, made in 2.5 inch form-factor, while 16GB and 64GB versions will also arrive pretty soon.
