Today Samsung spilled the beans on an upcoming 100GB solid state drive for server implementations. Touting low power requirements and specs that deliver a sound beating to 15K drives, the flash chip maker is making its case to data center operators.

In the press release, Jim Elliott, Samsung Semiconductor's vice president of memory marketing, is quoted as saying, "Our new enterprise SSD offers CIOs and IT managers the ability to greatly improve storage reliability and capacity while avoiding costly power and AC infrastructure upgrades in data centers at or near capacity."

Nice to hear that there's some momentum building on the server side of things, apart from specialized and astronomically priced arrays. Let's hope they release pricing information soon.
