Come this summer, Micron will go gunning for the high-end enterprise hard drive market, but not with an HDD of its own. Instead, the company will release its SATA 3.0-based P300 SSD line, which it hopes will replace 10,000RPM and 15,000RPM HDDs.
"We think [the P300] is going to lend itself much better to this space," said Kevin Dibelius, senior product marketing manager for Micron.
In addition to pushing data through a 6Gbps interface, the upcoming SSD will also use ONFI (Open NAND Flash Interface) 2.1, which is a faster connection between the flash silicon and the SSD controller. If all this sounds familiar, it's because Micron's existing C300 series share the same specs. The P300 series, however, will use SLC (single-level cell) technology instead of the cheaper MLC (multi-level cell) technology found in the C300 series.
Pricing hasn't yet been announced, but Micron did say the P300 line will ship in 50GB, 100GB, and 200GB capacities starting in June.
