Considered by many as the memory perfectionists, Micron Technology, that's working closely with Intel these days in the field of solid state storage, NAND flash technologies, etc., has devised a drive series it calls RealSSD, the series is branched into consumer and enterprise segments, the P200 series are the enterprise offerings which are manufactured in a way that allows high uptime and MTBF to for mission-critical storage environments. The P200 uses Single-Level Cell (SLC) NAND technology while RealSSD C200 series aimed at the consumer segment uses the much cheaper Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND technology.

What makes the RealSSD stand out is that the drives offer sequential read and write speed of a whopping 250MB/s, something that takes 4 ~ 6 member RAID 0 arrays using conventional drives to achieve. The C200 series are available in the 1.8" and 2.5" form-factors, the 1.8" drives come in capacities between 32GB and 128 GB while the larger drives offer capacities up to 256 GB. The drives use the 3 GB/s SATA II interface and the MLC-based C200 parts offer respectable write speeds of around 100 MB/s which is still high for its segment, with read speeds of around 250 MB/s. These drives are expected to arrive in Q4, 2008 under the Lexar brand.

Yeah, but how much are the P200 series gonna cost?

I have to admit tho, I would love to have that. Slap 2 in a RAID0, and call it a day.

Side note: When did you get back bta?
 
Considering it's for the enterprise, P200 should cost a bomb.

I came back this morning.
 
now thats where we want SSD's to go!
 
250MB sustained... holy SHIT. Add that with almost no latency... (Tkpenalty dreams of windows loading in 2 seconds).
 
I Was under the impression that micron wanted to introduce SSDs to the mainstream with very competitive (read : lower!) prices.
 
*envisions his pc in 2009*
 
i wonder what the pricing is going to be like...

That's what the C200 series with MLC flash is for.

I'm just more interested in the P200 with SLC flash. lol.
 
250 MB/s, thats like 5 second level loading on Far Cry!:eek:
