If you’re an SSD fan who’s been following our blog for a while, you know that we posted a from-the-lab teaser video of a prototype PCIe SSD some time ago. Our design team has been hard at work on an ideal solution, and I’m happy to tell you that today we have production product to show you.
Micron’s Senior Applications Engineer, Doug Rollins, is participating in Storage Switzerland’s “How to Compare SSDs” webinar this Wednesday, March 30. Doug will talk about the importance of establishing “specsmanship”—or industry-standard terms and tests—for SSDs. Listen in as he debunks SSD myths, defines important SSD terms, and highlights standardized testing methodologies that work. Register today to [...]
Several of you have been asking to see additional benchmark results from the C400. Micron’s product engineering teams tailor their performance testing suites to OEM requirements, which focus on IOMeter and PCMark® Vantage data.
We set up this simple demo of a C400 and stock hard drive running the same programs in identical laptops.
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®.
Suppose I told you that the local car dealership was selling a car that offered double the gas mileage of standard models (or double the top speed for you daredevils). You’d probably say something like “Sure, but what is it going to cost me?” Suppose I told you that the models were identical, but the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
