SSD 4K alignment function/setting/ viewing method Samsung explained that the pre-production firmware of the 840 and 840 Pro evaluation samples, version numbers 5B0Q, 2B0Q, contained a bug that caused the sudden death of the hard drive several times, and the retail products on the market will use the new firmware 6B0Q, 3B0Q, This problem does not exist.
Samsung responds to the sudden death of 840/840 Pro: retail firmware is worry-free WDC WD1600AAJS-08L7A0 ATA Device/WD My Passport 0748 USB Device It is recommended to use this type of partitioning on disks larger than 2TB or disks used in Itanium-based computers. Note: All earlier versions of Windows do not recognize the GPT partition format. As BGA SSDs are cheaper to install (no 2.5″ bay, SATA plugs, etc.), should SSDs catch up with HDD pricing, manufacturers may choose to go the BGA route on entry level laptops to cut costs.MBR Master Boot Record/GPT GUID Partition Table Should the laptop fail, it cannot be easily removed for data recovery either. This presents a few problems – The SSD cannot be changed with a larger model, let alone replaced if it fails. While BGA SSDs may seem like a good idea for ultra slim tables and laptops, they do have one serious drawback – They are soldered in place. No pricing information has been announced at this time. They are currently available for sampling, with volume production scheduled for the 3rd quarter of 2011. The U100 comes in a variety of form factories including Half-Slim SATA, mSATA, mSATA mini and 2.5″ cased, while the i100 has a BGA form factor of 16x20x1.4mm (up to 64GB) and 16x20x1.85mm (up to 128GB) for direct placement on a PCB.īoth SSDs will be available in capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB and also 256GB for the U100. Both feature low idle power consumption of just 10mW.
No random IO performance details are available at this time. The U100 features sequential read and write speeds of up to 450MB/s and 340MB/s, respectively and the i100 features the same read speed, but with a write speed of up to 160MB/s. Samsung claims its i100 SSD to be the world’s smallest and fastest SATA3 BGA-based SSD. Samsung launched two new Solid State Drives targeted at tablets and ultra-thin laptops, the U100 and the i100.
