If you are in the market for a solid state drives (SSD), whether you are a home user that strive for performance or an OEM builder that is looking for reliable storage to be embed on your next product, the new SSDs from Western Digital – SiliconDrive N1x and SiliconEdge Blue - might be able to satisfy your needs.

“Satisfying the challenging
storage demands for a wide
variety of OEM applications, WD has designed the WD SiliconDrive N1x
and WD
SiliconEdge Blue product families to facilitate SSD technology adoption
in a
multitude of existing and expanding new markets that can benefit from
advanced
storage solutions.” - Michael Hajeck, senior vice
president and general
manager of WD’s solid state storage business unit.

While both WD SiliconEdge Blue and SiliconDrive N1x looks physically the same, they actually operate at a different level from each other. Sure, both of them are 2.5-inch drives and feature the same native SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface but the SiliconEdge Blue in faster in terms of read and write speed at 250/170 megabytes per second, compared to SiliconDrive N1x’s
speed of 240/128 megabytes per second.

That being said, as the SiliconDrive N1x is a single-level cells based storage device, it is more reliable than its multi-level cells brother. That is exactly why the N1x is targeted at embedded system manufacturers that rely on reliability and the WD SiliconEdge Blue is more for performance-demanding users.

We have no pricing details of WD SlicionDrive N1x SSDs but we do know that it is available in capacity up to 128 GB. As for WD SiliconEdge Blue line-up, they are standing at RM 979 for 64 GB model, RM 1,859 for 128 GB and RM 3,499 for 256 GB. Well, they aren’t cheap obviously but those are the price you got to pay for performance.

awat mahal sangat???

speed dia laju. nk lawan RAID...

Ni laju dari segi design terus, RAID tu guna konsep lain. Benda ni pun leh wat RAID, lagi dahsyat read speed. Tapi write speed still slow sgt.

Tapi kalo nk main game kisah pasal loading time je, lagi laju load lagi lancar main. Tu yg harga dahsyat, tech still baru.

SSD still lum mainstream sgt.....

aduh...harga dia mmg mahal sgt laa...

Ok gak speed die..
