Micron Technology introduced the RealSSD C300 solid-state drive (SSD), the fastest Micron SSD for notebook and desktop personal computers (PCs).
The Micron RealSSD C300 drive is the first to leverage the SATA 6Gb/s interface, providing read speeds of up to 355 megabytes per second (MB/s) and write speeds of up to 215MB/s. The RealSSD C300 drive is the first to use ONFI 2.1 high-speed synchronous NAND.
Leveraging Microns industry-leading 34-nanometer (nm) multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory, Microns RealSSD C300 drive - available in 128 gigabyte (GB) and 256GB capacities - is now sampling in limited quantities. The Micron SSD drives will be available in 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch form factors.
