250 MB/s SSD for Micron Posted on 05/08/2008 at 11:27 by Marc
Micron has just announced it new RealSSD line. The P200s destined for businesses are in SATA 3 Gbits /s and 2.5" format. In 16 to 128 GB versions, they are equipped with SLC chips used in parallel and which enable attaining highs of 250 MB/s in both reading and writing! These are quite simply the highest speeds ever announced for an SSD in this format and moreover it’s close to the interface’s actual speed!
Otherwise, the C200s are destined for the general public and use less expensive MLC chips that have speeds of 250 MB/s in reading and 100 MB/s in writing. Still in SATA 3 Gbits, the P200s come in 2.5" (up to 256 GB) and 1.8" (32 to 128 GB) versions.
THe S200 and P200s are in their sample stages while mass production and availability is planned for the last quarter. With these new RealSSDs, Micron takes a leap forward because its previous models had speeds of 65 MB/s in reading and 35 MB/s in writing. Now we will just have to wait and see what the price of Flash memory will be at the end of the year and what the actual performances of these RealSSDs are!
