Micron announced that it will launch next year new SSD models, known as C300.
Those drives will be available with storage capacity ranging from 128 to 256 GB and will sport a SATA III interface. The latest will be required to manage the data transfer speed deliver by the SSD: 215 MB/S in writing mode and 355 MB/S in reading mode! However, one will have to pay attention to the power consumption. Micro already announces 3.5 W in use (rather high), and the expected 0.1 W when idle. They should be available for Q1 2010. For sure other manufacturers will also offer new models, feeding the market with competitive products, even though prices do not really drop.
