At CES 2009, SanDisk unleashed its G3 series of solid state drives (SSDs). The two variants, dubbed the SSD C25-G3 and SSD C18-G3, are offered in the standard 2.5″ and 1.8″ form factors, respectively. Both are available with a SATA-II interface providing 40,000 RPM speed and a predictable sequential feat of 200MB/s read and 140MB/s write. ExtremeFFS and a new SSD algorithm lend them great performance. The SSD drives have up to 60GB, 120GB and 240GB storage capacity. As per the reps, the respective unit MSRPs for the drives are $149, $249 and $499 only, and will be available in mid 2009. Well, as is expected, the G3 SSDs may replace various notebook PC HDDs in the near future.
