Neue, schnelle SSDs im Anmarsch

Micron stellt also neue, superschnelle SSDs (Solid State Drives) vor, die deutlich bessere Performance als herkömmliche SSDs versprechen. Aus dem Press-Release

• Performance.  The P200 is more than 10 times faster at accessing transactional data when compared to a typical enterprise HDD. It achieves sub-millisecond latency while a typical enterprise HDD has an average latency of approximately eight milliseconds, dramatically reducing the data seek time inherent with conventional HDDs.
• Power. The P200 consumes about one-tenth the power of a typical data center hard drive, operating at 2.5 watts in active mode and under at 0.3 watts in idle. In contrast, data center hard drives typically consume anywhere between 8 to 28 watts. Additionally, with its low-wattage and high temperature range (the P200 operates at a temperature range of zero to +70 degrees Celsius where an HDD operates at +5 to +55 degrees Celsius) the P200 requires almost zero cooling, keeping power consumption low.   
• Reliability. The P200 is ideal for the demanding reliability requirements of mission-critical enterprise applications. The P200 provides improved wear-leveling capabilities across its high-performance SLC write cycles, offering a mean time between failure (MTBF) rate of approximately two million hours compared to 300,000 to 500,000 MTBF of an HDD, dramatically reducing the concerns of a mechanical breakdown.  

SSDs werden immer beliebter, da sie schneller und vor allem leiser als herkömmliche Festplatten arbeiten (keine beweglichen Teile!). Vor allem in Subnotebooks kommen sie mittlerweile zum Einsatz, der Markt wächst, die Aussichten für Micron sind damit nicht schlecht. Derzeit für mich daher ein Kauf.
