The 64GB flash-SSD targets the hard-drive replacement market – so that the device is used as primary storage in devices ranging from laptops to personal navigation systems and camcorders – and is twice the capacity of the 32GB flash-SSD Samsung launched last year.
Samsung said it would start mass producing the 64GB flash-SSD in the second quarter this year.
