    C200 products provide a read speed of up to 250MB/s and a write speed of up to 100MB/s.

    Hmmm... getting better... Still we need more speed Scotty!

    - sata 1 -> 150Mb/s
    - sata 2 -> 300Mb/s
    - sata 6GB/s -> 600Mb/s (not ready yet...)

    So sata II is enough with good margin, and the the next standard will wipe floor with those "pitifull" Microns...

  • To help promote SSDs and their “superiority” to HDDs, Micron developed a series of three Apple-spoof videos that mimic the now-iconic Apple versus PC ads. You can see the Apple-spoof SSD versus HDD ads on http://www.citysmart.com/boise-id/blog/micron-technology-spoofs-apple-commercials
