Micron announced updates to its RealSSD lineup of Solid State Drives (SSD) . The  RealSSD P200 and C200 will be available later this year.

The 2.5-inch RealSSD P200 which is based on Micron’s SLC (Single-Level Cell) NAND technology will offer up to 128GB storage capacity with a standard 3Gbps Serial ATA (SATA) interface.

The RealSSD C200 which is available in 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch forms are based on Micron’s MLC (Multi-Level Cell) NAND process technology. The 2.5-inch version will have a maximum capacity of 250GB while the 1.8-inch version will have a maximum capacity of 128GB. The two versions use a standard 3Gbps Serial ATA (SATA) interface.

The RealSSD P200 and C200 offer a read speed of up to 250Mbps and a write speed of up to 100Mbps which are very fast compared to SSDs currently available in the market.

SSDs are now being used in netbooks and sub-notebooks because they are more power-efficient and generate less heat compared to traditional hard drives.
