Next-generation solid-state drives tout 6-Gbps SATA speeds

摘要

Roughly 15 months after Micron unveiled its 6-Gbps, SATA (serial-advanced-tech-nology-attachment)-supportive C300 solid-state drives and six months after the company followed them with the enterprise-targeted P300 variants, Intel has finally rolled out a 6-Gbps SATA-cognizant solid-state-drive family. Whereas Micron's latest-generation C400 drives employ NAND devices built on a 25-nm process that the company jointly developed with IM Flash Technologies Intel has chosen the more conservative, although perhaps less cost-effective, path of sticking with 34-nm-fabricated flash-memory components.
