Sony Vaio Z11 Notebook Rumored to Get Quad-speed SSD

Tweet

Already a great piece of machinery, the new Sony VAIO Z11 is supposedly getting an upgrade that is meant to make it even faster. We’re not talking about a snappier processor or more RAM memor, but a new quad-speed SSD — probably the fastest notebook storage drives ever, that would be capable to transfer 1GB of data in nothing less than 4 seconds. Oh, and if you need something to compare it with, a regular 5,400rpm is much niftier; it gets the job done in 25 seconds.

Running on a regular 128 GB solid-state drive for the moment, the 13.1-inch Sony VAIO Z11 would combine four SSDs in a RAID configuration for a total of either 256GB (4x64GB) or 512GB (4x128GB). On top of featuring state of the art storage, the new Z11 is also rumored to get a backlit keyboard.

Sounds cool? Now imagine how awesome it would be to copy a full HD 7GB .mkv movie in just shy of half a minute. Yes, Sony, we want to get our hands on this upgraded VAIO Z11 as soon as possible. So let’s wait for their CES 2010 keynote speech to know more.
