Micron RealSSD C300 is blazing fast

We all know that SSDs are blazing fast, but Micron’s latest C300 2.5″ SSDs pummel the opposition into a corner, being a whopping 50% faster than the current market leaders, shaming the fastest hard drives as well. Coming in 128GB and 256GB capacities, they will be out sometime early 2010, where it will take advantage of the new SATA 3.0 specifications which can reach a theoretical maximum speed of 6Gb/s throughput, double that of SATA 2.0. Needless to say, new technology at such speed will hit your pocket hard, where 128GB costs around $350 while the 256GB version is going for $715 – and that is only when purchased in bulk.
