Micron ssd

[Triventular]

so i just got a new ssd online its a 256gb Micron RealSSD C400 for only $53.

 

I didn't know the brand existed and when I looked it up on youtube it showed me this video back from 2010

 

It definitely is faster than my old 5400rpm hard drive but what am i supposed to expect from an ssd from a brand that is not well known and is quite old?

they are well known.

 

micron is the owner of crucial memory, who are one of the biggest memory resellers in the world.

 

I've seen RealSSD units inside HP OEM machines before, and that's it. It's not an end-consumer product, it's meant for business.

 

It'll work fine though.

oh then i didn't do my small research hard enough then haha thats what i thought because most of the things i saw about it is they're OEM

Also, intel has partnered with them to develop their xpoint tech, and they are possibly more well know for their combined venture - intel micron flash technologies (IMFT, or IM Flash Technologies), which is where all of the flash for intel ssd's is made.

 

Edit: short answer: Good drives, good price, decent support depending on where you bought it.

They ended their partnership sometime last year.

Not... quite. Your timeline is off. They announced they won't be designing any more NAND products together, with both companies going their own way after their current 3rd generation 3D NAND is finished being developed.

 

Intel and Micron will still continue as an objective partnership under IMFT to manufacture things like 3D XPoint well into the future. They just wont be working much more past mid 2019 to develop new NAND products.

I'm not betting on 3dxpoint.  It doesnt have the 3d scalability or retention of NAND flash, and doesn't have the write endurance of DRAM.
