Toshiba's new 128GB SATA SSDs -- hello, SanDisk?

128GB of SSD. You long for it, you need it, and with any luck you'll have it when Toshiba starts churning 'em out for production by May. The new 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch MLC NAND slabs with SATA interfaces will ship in three capacities: 32GB, 64GB, and the big daddy 128GB. The new SSDs are based on the new 56-nm processes announced back in January. Of course, with Toshiba and SanDisk bedfellows in flash we're also expecting a SanDisk announcement on the quick -- certainly no later than CES in early January. No prices announced, though we anticipate the year-over-year reductions to continue, right boys?

A company that announces a breakthrough, then delivers a product to market based on that breakthrough within 12 months?

Take note, OLED manufacturers.

Laptops are the new desktop. And saving even one season's worth of your favorite TV episode in High Def with Media Center will take 100GB.

Awesome innovation! Flash is an exciting future for the industry. It's going to take years to hit the mainstream, but pretty exciting for those on this post that want the best and are willing to pay for it.
