Micron announces Solid State Drives with Improved Speed
Micron Technology is introducing new solid state drives (SSDs) with improved speed. The RealSSD P200 range from 16GBs to 128GBs and are available in a standard 2.5" form factor. The RealSSD P200 is based on single-level cell (SLC) flash memory and features read and write speeds of up to 250MB/s. It consumes about 10% the power of a typical data center hard drive, operating at 2.5W in active mode and under at 0.3W in idle. Micron declares 2 million hours mean time between failure (MTBF) for its P200 SSDs. The Real SSD C200 family of solid state drives, which is based on multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory ranges from 32GB to 256GB. The C200 products provide a read speed of up to 250MB/s and a write speed of up to 100MB/s.
You can expect Micron's RealSSD P200 and C200 drives by the fourth quarter of 2008.
