If you’re a fan of SSD technology, you’ve probably seen some of the forum buzz about new 25nm NAND SSDs. One of our SSD competitors rolled one of their existing models to new 25nm NAND, but they created a slower, lower-capacity drive—and didn’t change the model number or any of the marketing to acknowledge these shortcomings.
We set up this simple demo of a C400 and stock hard drive running the same programs in identical laptops.
Now available through crucial.com—the RealSSD C300 client drive that everyone’s talking about. Crucial is offering the 2.5” drive in 128GB and 256GB densities (priced at $499.99 and $799.99, respectively). Visit crucial.com for more information.
We created quite a buzz when we announced the C300 RealSSD drive last month—the world’s fastest client SSD. Following the announcement, many of you were eager to know: Where can I buy it? How soon will they be shipping? Today, we have answers to those questions. I’m happy to announce that Lexar Media will be [...]
We received a couple requests to show the AS benchmark results for the new drive. So we asked Todd to provide a couple screen shots of the results–and here they are.
A lot of people are excited about the C300 demos we posted yesterday, and number of you asked to see the random write IOPs numbers for the new drives. So I’ve asked one of our Apps guys, Todd, to take some video of the C300 running through the IOMeter test.
By now you’ve seen the benchmarks, but to show you how that speed translates to the real world, we pitted our 256GB C300 SSD against a 7200rpm HDD in identical systems. We then tackled a handful of everyday tasks—boot up, file copy, and opening large files in Adobe® Photoshop®.
To prove it, we ran a few standard benchmarking tools (PCMark Vantage’s disk suite and the classic disk benchmark ATTO) on identical systems
We’re pretty passionate around here about engineering SSDs that get the highest performance possible. Part of that engineering effort is within the devices themselves—ensuring that our SSDs live up to the potential that our NAND flash offers. That said, there are many variables outside of the SSD that impact performance—like the operating system or [...]
So Micron is a co-chair on the task group within JEDEC that’s working to better define SSD standards. We work with others in the industry to define the future standards that will apply to SSD products with the goal of defining a shared language for building, testing, and measuring solid state storage products. So because [...]
