256GB SSD mass produced by Samsung on their way


The problem with SSDs is that they are simply too expensive with low capacities, for instance a current 128GB SSD costs about $400.00 which is way more expensive that the normal mechanical dive and holds less data.However, Samsung are preparing to breach the gap with their new 256GB SSD that they have just placed in mass production. Its storage is close-ish to being on par with most laptop hard drives, and as a mass production product Samsung should be able to keep the pricing down.An Axiom 256GB SSD goes for as much as $7,500 and no word on Samsung’s prices yet, but when you consider Samsung’s 128GB SSDs go for between $550 and $800 their 256GB SSD could well come in between $1,000 and $1,400, which still isn’t cheap, but is way below the Axiom
