While boffins have been slavishly beavering away to get speed out multi-level cell technology, MLC SSDs typically offer capacity at the expense of speed. However, Micron's new RealSSD C200 seems to have its cake and eat it too. The new series of drives, which bring up to 256GB to the desktop, also delivers an absurd 250MBps read/100MBps write.

Micron's new drives are targeted at the price/performance bracket, while still managing to topple the 200MBps write crown held by Samsung's beloved FlashSSD series. The read is considerably more average, falling some 60MBps shy of that offered by Samsung's performance products.

Expect to see these Micron-based beauties hit the shelves in Q4 under the Lexar brand for an undisclosed price.
