SAMSUNG Solid State Drive Packaged in Industry-Leading Ultra-Portable Notebook PCs

Samsung announced that its 1.8-inch solid state drive (SSD) is available in the recently launched ThinkPad X301 ultra-portable notebook in 64 Gigabyte (GB) and 128 GB densities. The ThinkPad X301 notebook is optimized for Samsung's new DDR3 main memory and the latest Intel Core 2 Duo ultra-low-volt processor, that together deliver approximately 20 percent better performance in the X301 over its predecessor, the ThinkPad X300 notebook.

Samsung's 64 GB SSD is also an option in five more of Lenovo's latest notebook PCs, available in many countries, including the ThinkPad X200, T400 and T500 notebooks and ThinkPad W500 and W700 mobile workstations.

The Samsung SSD has a write speed of 70MB/s and a read speed of 90MB/s. With normal system usage, its performance with applications has been benchmarked at more than twice that of a 7200 rpm hard drive, according to PCMark05 testing by Samsung.
