Micron Real SSD's

[nitrobass24]

Today, Micron introduced its next-generation solid state drives (SSDs) in the RealSSD family of products: The RealSSD P200, for enterprise server computing, and the REAL SSD C200, for notebook and client-focused computing. These remarkable new SSDs provide a dramatic improvement in capacity, power and performance for the applications they serve. It's no secret that there is a demand for SSDs in notebook and client-focused computing, and Micron believes there is incredible value for SSDs in enterprise server systems as well. Visit our online media kit for more information on the RealSSD P200 and C200.

What do you guys think about these...they are claiming 250MB/s read and WRITE that would be awesome.

No price, no dice.

It's going to come down to the price. I'm assuming since they are marking the P200's as "enterprise" equipment, you are going to be perhaps looking at $1,000 a drive.

 

[Syntax Error]

Well, let's hope for those speeds and probable high price they'd be SLC at the very least, or maybe some new kind of flash storage?

$1,000 a drive ain't bad for that kind of performance. It's worth it to me. Especially if the access times are like other SSD drives. The Hard drive has been the bottleneck long enough- It's time for a new era of computing.

The specs are downright impressive, but so will the price... =(. Though with specs like those, other companies will have no choice but to lower prices on current SSDs.

cough cough 10yr warranty with theses ssd's right? jk

Didn't the Dailytech article on these drives claim they were MLC? That would certainly explain the read/write discrepency

Micron’s RealSSD P200 offerings range in density from 16 gigabytes (GBs) to 128GBs and are available in a standard 2.5-inch form factor. Using Micron’s high-performa single-level cell (SLC) NAND technology, the P200 provides the industry’s fastest 3Gb/s SATA-based sequential read and write speed of up to a maximum of 250 megabytes per second (MB/s)

RealSSD C200: Bringing Capacity, Performance & Power to Notebooks
Designed using Micron’s multi-level cell (MLC) NAND process technology, the RealSSD C200 drives will be available in 2.5-inch and 1.8-inch form factors. The 2.5-inch C200 will be offered in densities of up to 256GBs. And with its small form-factor, the 1.8-inch C200 will range in density from 32GBs to 128GBs offering uncompromised power and performance levels. Using a 3 Gb/s SATA interface, the C200 products provide a read speed of up to 250 MB/s and a write speed of up to 100 MB/s. The increased read and write speeds of the C200 will enable consumers to have an overall improved computing experience when compared to a notebook designed with an HDD, offering improved boot and application load times and lower power consumption for smaller form factor notebook designs.

So both SLC and MLC versions.
