Transcend Launches new SSDs
The market for solid-state drives is growing steadily. Transcend put in its newest offerings, 2.5 inch SSDs with double the read/write speeds over its predecessors. The company equipped these drives with new controllers that add to its performance and energy efficiency. The drives come in capacities of up to 64 GB, in both SATA II and IDE interface flavours. The drives come with built-in Error Correction Code (ECC) for reliable data transfer, and the drive offers sustained transfer speeds of 159 MB/s (read) and 136 MB/s write, with latencies below 1 ms.

1) What's the MTBF on these things?
2) Have they actually improved the number of read/writes each memory cell can do before failing, or do they spread the usage?
3) How much?
I would like one for my laptop if they came in a bigger size like 128gb or just as a OS drive for my main rig either way I want one if they are in a good price range
