Low-priced SSD options rolling out from Active Media

Solid state drives are an attractive option to people who want a laptop that have no moving parts and/or want better battery life. Picking a SSD option is usually quite expensive, but Active Media announced its new line of SaberTooth S3 Mini PICe SSDs for Asus Eee PCs with pretty low prices. The 16GB model costs $69, the 32GB model is $89, with top of the line model at 64GB for $159. The read speed for these devices are 95MB/sec with write speeds at 70MB/sec (numbers are sequential read and write speeds). Keep in mind these new SSDs use a Mini PCI Express connector. If you have an Asus S101, 900, 900A or 901 Eee PC, these SSDs are guaranteed to be compatible. If you’re feeling adventurous with another laptop, it’s up to you.
