Lexar Media unveils Crucial RealSSD C300 solid state drive

Lexar Media has a new solid state drive which it has released under the Crucial brand name. Going by the moniker RealSSD C300, this drive sports SATA 6Gb/s support and is based on MLC NAND flash memory. Fitting into 2.5″ enclosures nicely, you get a 355MB/s read speed which ain’t too shabby at all. There are a few capacities for you to choose from, ranging from 64GB to 128GB and 256GB, where you will need to fork out $149.99 for the 64GB model. A $2.32/GB ratio for this model should be acceptable to most people if they are looking forward to taking the SSD plunge for their computers and/or notebooks.
