AS Benchmarks for RealSSD C300

Justin Sykes — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:28:51 +0000

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.

Of course, our immediate goal is to get these in the hands of independent reviewers. You should see third-party tests coming out in the next month or so as we ramp to production and get drives sent out. Stay tuned–we’ll call out results both here and through our @RealSSD Twitter feed.

You asked for it: RealSSD C300 random IOPs

Justin Sykes — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:40:57 +0000

A lot of people are excited about the C300 demos we posted last week, and a number of you asked to see the random read/write IOPs numbers for the new drives. So I’ve asked one of our Apps guys, Todd, to shoot a video of the C300 running through the Iometer test. These are 4K transfers on 100% random read/write tests with a queue depth of 32.

We’re using the same Intel Core2Duo system, equipped with our 256GB RealSSD C300 drive and a 6 Gb/s SATA host bus adapter. We also test it at SATA 3 Gb/s to show how it will perform in those systems. I think you’re going to like the results.

RealSSD C300 goes head-to-head with a hard drive in everyday tasks

Justin Sykes — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:46:24 +0000

By now you’ve seen our SSD vs SSD benchmarks, but to show you how that speed translates to the real world, we pitted our 256GB C300 SSD against a standard issue 7200rpm HDD in identical systems. We then tackled a handful of everyday tasks—boot up, file copy, and opening large files in Adobe® Photoshop®.

System Details
MoBo: Intel® X48 chipset based
Processor: Intel Core2Duo E8500
Memory: Micron® 2GB DDR3 1066 (PC3-8500)
OS: Windows® 7 Pro 64-b

Benchmarking the World’s Fastest Client SSD

Justin Sykes — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:32:09 +0000

Our new RealSSD C300 outperforms every client SSD currently available on the market. To prove it, we ran a few standard benchmarking tools (PCMark Vantage’s disk suite and the classic disk benchmark ATTO) on identical systems. The only difference: a 256GB Micron RealSSD C300 in one system and the leading competitor’s 160GB SSD in the other.

System Details
MoBo: Intel® X48 chipset based
Processor: Intel Core2Duo E8500
Memory: Micron® 2GB DDR3 1066 (PC3-8500)
Drive Interface: SATA 6Gb/s (via Marvel HBA)

Announcing the new RealSSD C300

Chris Smith — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:31:45 +0000

To explain why today’s announcement of Micron’s new RealSSD C300 is a game-changer for speed and storage in notebook and desktop PCs, I asked our SSD expert, Dean Klein, to share some of the thinking that went into the product and what you’ll experience the first time you boot up a computer with a RealSSD C300 inside.

Tripling NAND Performance in Mobile Systems

Wanmo — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:11:27 +0000

We’ve been getting great response from customers who’ve seen our NAND performance demonstration, so we wanted to share it with a wider audience.

The test pits our single- and dual-plane SLC devices and NANDCode™ FTL software against Samsung’s OneNAND™ running on Microsoft’s FTL. The test system is a TI OMAP™ 3430 development platform running Windows Mobile® 6.5 OS. We changed out the onboard NAND with a simple PISMO card swap and then ran a 10MB system performance test.

The results are impressive and undeniable. The key is our custom NANDCode FTL software, which enables advanced performance features like dual-plane programming.

Watch the video below to see why some of our competitors’ customers have been willing to open their design cycles to take advantage of the big NAND performance gains offered by Micron’s MCPs.

Visit our Web site to learn more about our NANDCode software and how you can use it to boost performance in your next mobile design.

CNET’s Road Trip Visits Micron

Bruce — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:44:06 +0000

This week we met with CNET News.com reporter, Daniel Terdiman, while he road trips through America’s mountain west states writing about and photographing the best in technology, science, military, nature, aviation and more. We encouraged him to stop by Micron’s Boise, Idaho headquarters so we could talk with him about–and show him–our microdisplays.

Since Daniel regularly writes about what’s best in cutting-edge technology, we knew he’d want to see a pico projector in action. We were eager to show him the technology and get him thinking about what’s possible.

Read the article, “A high-quality projector in your smart phone?“ to learn more about the applications and scenarios where this technology could be used. You may find yourself asking, like Daniel, “When can I get that?”

Enterprise-Class NAND: Coming to a Server Near You

Kevin Kilbuck — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:17:43 +0000

Hey guys. The MAST folks asked me to get the blog up to speed on a very exciting announcement—our Enterprise NAND. In a nutshell, Enterprise NAND is a very high endurance SLC NAND device. It has a write/erase cycle endurance of 1 million cycles. Seriously cool–that’s 10X standard NAND. So, what does it mean? Well, it means that NAND, in its various flavors, can play and perform in everything from thumb drives to performance SSDs and now, it also has a home in high endurance, high-transaction applications like data servers. And with the kinds of endorsements it’s getting from the likes of Sun Microsystems and Violin memory, I think we’re seeing NAND really come into its own. Anyway, check out the short video and the announcement for more info.

IOP/s Like You’ve Never Seen

Dean Klein — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:32:35 +0000

This is exciting stuff. I took some time–and a handy-dandy flipcam–on my recent trip out to the MAST Center to film Joe Jeddeloh’s demonstration of our enterprise PCI-e prototype. It’s really cool to prove (on hardware) what was thought-to-be-possible on paper. Come on into the lab and see the kind of IOP/s we’re hitting with this thing for yourself.
