G.Skill releases the Falcon

New contender G.Skill to prey on the SSD market.

Memory manufacturer G.Skill has launched its latest piece of kit, the Falcon SATA II 2.5in, an MLC-based Solid State Drive (SSD) Series complete with Korean-based Indilink's controller.

G.Skill reckons its Falcon series sporting a 64MB DRAM buffer scores "the best read/write performance stability" in its words, because it doesn't cause any OS stutter, whatever that is. The Falcon series has apparently been hatched in three different capacities - 64GB, 128GB and 256GB.

G.Skill claims that the 128GB and 256GB drives have a read/write performance of230/190 MB/Sec, whilst it says the 64GB drives are capable of 230/135 MB/Sec.

The Taiwanese memory maker also posits its SSDs have a good 1.5 million hour mean time before failure (MTBF) rating, and also mentions that they come with a worldwide two-year warranty, just in case.
