Silicon Power Throws Hat in SATA III SSD Ring !

Silicon Power today announced the launch of its first SATA 6Gb/s solid state drive line, the Velox Series V30. The V30 is a performance upgrade over the company's V20 line and comes armed with a SandForce controller chip. Built around the 2.5-inch form factor, Silicon Power tosses in a 3.5-inch adapter bracket so enthusiasts looking for high-speed storage won't have any trouble stuffing the V30 into their current chassis.
The V30 offers read and write speeds of up to 550MB/s and 500MB/s, respectively, putting it roughly in line with other high-end SATA III SSDs. Other features include TRIM and Garbage Collection technology, DuraWrite and wear leveling that Silicon Power says will extend the endurance of MLC memory, built-in SMART monitoring system, and ECC technology.
Silicon Power offers the V30 Series in 60GB, 120GB, 240GB, and 480GB capacities, all of which come with a 3-year warranty. No word yet on price or availability.
