Mtron Unveils Next Generation 260MB/s Controller

Mtron announced a new 260 MB/s controller technology at “World IT Show 2008”. Mtron improved the current 4-channel system allowing a maximum read/write speed of 130/120MB/s, its next generation controller technology will be based on an 8-channel system with the maximum read/write speed of 260/240MB/s (based on SLC chips); twice faster than current controllers and the fastest speed in the current SSD market by far.
In addition, Mtron announced that it will offer SSD models with the new controller technology in early 2009, the price is currently unknown.
As usual with the current SSD market, this is mostly fight of Press Releases, based on marketing points and claims, as most of all announced products are still not available...
