Super Talent Technology today launched a pair of new high quality SATA-II SSDs that shatter previous price barriers.

Super Talent?s MasterDrive SSDs offer five times better resistance to shock and vibration, consume less power, support a wider range of operating temperatures and altitudes, and are completely silent.

Offered in 64GB and 128GB capacities, the new 64GB MasterDrive LX retail for about $179, while the 128GB unit is expected to retail for under $300. Both models will begin shipping this week.

Backed with Super Talent?s 1-year warranty, the MasterDrive LX is built with NAND flash and uses a SATA-II 3Gbps interface that makes it 100% interchangeable with hard disk drives. These SSDs support sequential read speeds of up to 100 MB/sec, and sequential write speeds of up to 40 MB/sec. Integrated ECC, wear leveling and bad bit management functions improve the reliability and lifespan of these SSDs.
