Micron Launches RealSSD P300 SSDs For The Enterprise Market
Micron has introduced a new enterprise-level solid-state drive, the RealSSD P300. The drive leverages a SATA 6 Gbps interface and delivers extraordinary steady-state IOPS, up to 44,000 reads and 16,000 writes–more than 15 times the performance of competing SATA-base SSDs. The full press release is copied below. Available in 50, 100 and 200-gigabyte (GB) capacities, the RealSSD P300 drive is targeted primarily at enterprise applications including blade and conventional servers, storage arrays and high-end workstations. Designed to fit the standard 2.5-inch form factor, the P300 SSD achieves a read throughput speed of up to 360MB/s and a write throughput speed of up to 275MB/s. Micron is sampling the RealSSD P300 SSD with customers now and plans to enter mass production in October.
The ever-expanding workload of todays enterprise environments requires the technology within to be able to withstand the rigors of data being constantly accessed, transferred and stored. The RealSSD P300 drive was designed specifically to address these requirements by using Microns high-performance and high-endurance ONFI 2.1 34-nanometer (nm) single-level cell (SLC) NAND technology, ensuring product longevity and added reliability in todays demanding enterprise environments. Combining Microns high-quality NAND and proprietary firmware design enables the P300 SSD to deliver the highest SATA drive endurance capability in the industry3.5 petabytes total bytes written for the 200GB drive which is equal to writing approximately 1.9 terabytes per day, every day for five years.
