Micron Announces RealSSD Solid State Drives

Micron Technology has announced the RealSSD family of solid state drive products, which includes notebook- and desktop computer-use 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch models with 32GB and 64GB capacities.

Micron’s RealSSD solid state drives feature a SATA2 interface and a rugged, lightweight plastic casing, allowing for “at least a 50-percent reduction in weight when compared to similar density HDDs”. The RealSSDs consume less than 2 watts of power while active an even lower consumption in idle and standby modes.

Micron is now sampling the devices with mass production expected to start in the first quarter of 2008.
