Samsung Working With Apple To Optimise Solid State Drive Performance In Snow Leopard

Samsung has been pioneering efforts to improve performance of SSDs in operating systems, working with Apple to integrate ZFS reading and writing to the next version of OSX Server. This means a 128-bit file system with faster data throughput and lots of other fun things that make servers run better. This also means Apple is taking SSD technology seriously, as it has already dropped the price of the SSD upgrade for the MacBook Air—the only current MacBook to ship with an SSD option—to US$599 from US$999. We likely won’t see SSDs across the MacBook lines yet, but this means it could be in the cards. [MacRumors]
