Samsung has announced volume availability of the 128 GB solid state drive. 256 GB drives should be coming out before the year is out. This is getting really interesting. Looks like these multilevel or the MLC flash chips are going to provide the higher capacities fairly quickly. The SLC or the singkle level chip flash technology seemed to slow down around the 60 GB capacities some time back. While HDD have already reached a terabyte capacity with vertical recording technology stuff, the SSDs are not too far behind now. It'll be interesting to watch the race! These 128 GB devices are available in 1.8 and 2.5 inch form factors.
