Super Talent have announced a new range of solid-state drives, promising higher read and write rates thanks to a new 8-channel controller and more cache. The 2.5-inch Super Talent MasterDrive SX SSDs range in capacity from 64GB to 256GB, made up of MLC NAND flash, and the company is quoting sequential read speeds of up to 220 MB/sec and write speeds of up to 200 MB/sec.

Each of the drives have 128MB of DRAM cache and use a 3Gbps SATA-II interface. Power draw is down to 0.5W during reads and 0.15W while idle, and they’re also tipped to be more rugged, too, thanks to an aluminum shell.

The new Super Talent MasterDrive SX SSDs are available now, through retailers such as NewEgg and SuperBiiz. So far the only price we’ve seen is around $359 for the 128GB mid-range model.
