96 combined gigabytes from Apacer
Apacer Technology has introduced a 2.5-inch solid-state drive built on a combination of single-level (SLC) and multi-level (MLC) NAND flash memory chips. The novelty, called CAFD253 , can be (according to Apacer) a good reliable alternative to HDD used in laptops and ultra mobile devices.
The total capacity of the CAFD253 is 96 GB. Of these, 32 GB - SLC chips (write / read speed 25/35 MB per second), 64 GB - MLC (13/22 MB per second, respectively). Why, I ask, do a combo? The developer claims that, firstly, to increase reliability and, secondly, to reduce costs. With the latter, everything is clear (still MLC is cheaper than single-level chips). With reliability, everything is somewhat more complicated. Apacer recommends using the device as follows: install OS and frequently used applications on the SLC-part of the disk, and everything else (the data that will be addressed much less frequently) - write to the MLC-part.
The drive should go on sale soon. That's just about its cost and the official website Apacer, and press releases are silent.
