Crucial 25nm nand C400

Interesting how Crucial will likely be out in the market with 25nm NAND before Intel. I didn't think that would happen, given that Micron and Intel are sharing production of 25nm NAND.

Maybe this means the G3 Intel SSD's are closer than we think?

Who knows. But. Same nand, different controller...I'd wager that Intel's G3 will be in the same performance ball park as the Crucial unit. And a great fit for the SATA 3 that's supported by SB's new chipset.

Now, just gotta wonder cost.

For those that don't visit the front page every day.

The move to 25nm NAND gives us one major improvement: cost. The 512GB C400 will be priced at $825 in 1,000 unit quantities - that works out to be $1.611 per GB. The 256GB drive will go for $425, the 128GB at $210 and the 64GB somewhere above $100. As 25nm production ramps up I wouldn’t be too surprised to see SSD prices drop down to the magical $1/GB price point.
 
Very tempting, looking to see what Intel does with their G3, hopefully at CES. If not, the 256 looks like what I'm in the market for.

Yeah, tempting. Very tempting. I'm now just about ready to grab a s2011 when it comes out, along with a G3 or C400. The G3 and C400's bugs should be well known and ironed out by the time s2011 rolls out and those 260 MB/s writes look pretty darned tasty.
 
for some reason I was expecting 615MB/s reads 🙂 (near the theoretical limit atleast)

1 more gen to max out sata6 I suppose

The 128GB version could be my next drive, I too will be waiting to see if anyone answers.

sandforce, intel ... will samsung, jmicron, or indilinx make an appearance at CES ?

How significant is increased read speeds for everyday computing? Do you even notice a difference for general use?

Yeah I'm also interested in when Intel and sandforce drives will arrive. Are there any rough estimates on ETA's?

The article linked to speculates that Intel might be following soon behind this announcement, and that Sandforce is at least another quarter (3 months) away. Rough kind of timeline:

Now-C400
Late Jan/Early Feb-Intel
April or later-Sandforce SF2000

I'm thinking in general use or real world, the difference will not be significant. Maybe for the benchers; time will soon tell, but as everything else it will probably not be night/day.

Thanks for the info... I would prefer the intel drive for peace of mind, as I don't really want to be messing around with the drive...just want it to work and I trust Intel to deliver that more than the other companies.

What drive is every one else going for?

OCZ already sell 25nm edition Vertex 2 drives which are rumored to use IMFT chips

I'd assume that the next gen stuff will be about the same as current gen (as far as brands). So stick with Intel, OCZ, Corsair, and Micron (C300 current, C400 next gen).
