Super Talent jumps on the budget SSD bandwagon

SUPER TALENT MIGHT not be the most well known brand when it comes to SSDs, but the company has been coming out with some interesting products and was one of the first to show off a PCI Express based SSD. However, its latest products are going after those who would like to get an SSD but have a really tight budget.

The new Value SSD range from Super Talent starts at a tiny 8GB and this as well as its 16GB sibling doesn't exactly offer anything exciting in terms of performance, as both offer a read speed of 90MB/s and a really paltry write speed of 30MB/s. The 8GB model has a MSRP of just $65, but we can't help but think this is false economy when you can have a 32GB SSD for just over $80 retail.
