The new SSD version allows a user to store a single title of UHD movies in just 10 minutes.
SEOUL, July 6 (Korea Bizwire) -- Samsung Electronics Co. announced Monday it has added a high capacity version to its solid state drive (SDD) line-up to meet various demands in the fast-growing market.
The new SSD version with 2 terabyte capacity will lead its 850 PRO & EVO lineup, the Seoul-based tech company said. The new SSD version allows a user to store a single title of UHD movies in just 10 minutes.
A SSD is a data storage device made with a NAND flash memory chip that saves data without power present and is more durable and faster than a hard disk drive.
“Samsung Electronics rolled out vertical NAND (V-NAND)-based SSDs for consumers last year, which sparked the growth of high-capacity SSDs with capacities over 500 gigabytes,” the company said. “The release of 2 TB models will now allow TB-level models to become the mainstay products of the industry.”
Launched in July 2014, the 850 PRO lineup consists of editions with capacities of 128 gigabytes, 256GB, 512GB and 1 terabyte.
The 850 PRO lineup boasts a data storage and read speed of 520 megabytes and 550 megabytes per second, respectively, allowing users to handle large-scale files such as Ultra HD videos in a better environment.
The company said the latest 2TB SSD boasts the industry’s top performance and power efficiency.
