Toshiba will join the likes of SanDisk and Samsung by offering flash-based solid-state drives for notebook PCs during the first quarter of 2008, the company announced Monday. Incorporating flash-based SSD drives instead of traditional hard disk drives into laptop computers results in lower power consumption and faster boot times. The first SSDs from Toshiba will be available in three densities: 32 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB. The drives integrate an original MLC controller supporting fast read-write speeds and parallel data transfers.
