Buffalo Outs SHD-NSUM SSD with SATA-II and USB 2.0

Buffalo outs a new 2.5-Inch SATA II solid state drive coded as the SHD-NSUM. This new SSD is MLC-based and is available in 30GB, 60GB and 120GB versions.

We’re really running out of luck and the information about this new SSD is a bit limited. Ok, we admit it’s really limited. We don’t know yet how it really performs as the company is yet to release a detailed report on their testing, or if they are willing to. Fact of the matter is the PR team of Buffalo refused to disclose many details when they were asked by Akihabara. Now think of that.

Fortunately, we’ve heard that the new drive can give your system a lot of boost. Buffalo claim a 30-percent speed boost over a standard HDD and that is a lot!

The 120GB model will cost 320€, the 60GB will cost 200€, and the 30GB should cost 100€.

Te SHD-NSUM 30GB, 60GB and 120GB versions will be out initially in Japan. They’ll be priced at 12,000 yen ($124), 21,000 yen ($217) and 38,000 yen ($392) respectively.
