Intel's
partner in solid state crime, Micron, just announced an update to its
RealSSD lineup of SSDs. Based on the typically slower (and cheaper) MLC NAND process technology, the new 2.5-inch (up to 256GB) laptop and 1.8-inch (32GB to 128GB) ultra-portable storage slabs offer a 3Gbps SATA interface and ridiculous 250MBps read and 100MBps write speeds -- yes, that's fast, damn fast when you consider the
70MBps write and 90MBps read speeds of Samsung's latest consumer oriented SSDs. They even best the listed read speeds of
Samsung's top-ender. Unfortunately, no prices were given (though it's said to be "balanced price to performance"), but we should expect 'em to hit the market in Q4 under the Lexar brand, and maybe even
Seagate and
Intel for all we know.
