Super Talent Technology today announced their next generation SSD, the TeraDrive PT3.

The SSD are featuring the SandForce 2200 processor, SATA3 interface, Double Data Rate and ONFi flash. The union of these new technologies allow the SSD to stretch well within the new found bandwidth promised by the SATA 3.0 bus and breaks the 500MB/s barrier in both Read and Write scores.

The only SSD processor to compress data before writing, SandForce's set of technologies enables the new TeraDrive PT3 to offer enhanced performance, flash durability and data integrity.

"To reach this level of performance, just a few months ago, required two SSDs in a RAID array. Now a new generation NAND flash and the SATA 3.0 interface have clearly moved the performance bottleneck elsewhere", Peter Carcione, SuperTalent Director of Product Marketing.

Available in capacities 60, 120, 240 and 480GB, the TeraDrive PT3 begins shipping today. The company has not provided pricing details.
