SanDisk has announced a new batch of solid-state drives that couples low prices with surprisingly decent rated performance. The new SanDisk G3 SSDs start at just $149 for 60GB of capacity, and the company claims “anticipated sequential performance” of 200MB/s for reads and 140MB/s for writes. Not bad at all.
The G3 series also includes a 120GB variant priced at $249 and a 240GB flavor with a $499 price tag. According to the press release, all three models should be available in either 2.5″ or 1.8″ form factors and with 300MB/s Serial ATA interfaces. SanDisk also intends to release 2.5″ G3 SSDs with parallel ATA interfaces in mid-2009.
