Handheld and mobile devices keep getting smaller, lighter and thinner. However, the individual components which make up these smartphones, tablets and laptops still need to be capable of delivering high performance. Hoping to set the standard once again, Samsung's latest solid state drive (SSD) has entered volume production.
The new PM830 SSD supports the Serial ATA revision 3.0 interface with data transmissions of 6 gigabits (GB) per second and is available with densities up to 512GB.
