Pricey NAND and Slow Light
Jun 09, 2011
The P320h is Micron's first PCIe SSD as well as its first in-house controller design. You'll remember from our C300/C400/m4 reviews that Micron typically buys its controllers from Marvell and simply does firmware development in house.
Alright. What about price?
Pricing is unknown at this point, although Micron pointed out that it is expecting cost to be somewhere south of $16 per GB (at $16/GB that would be $5600 for the 350GB board and $11,200 for the 700GB board).
Holy Schnikes!
Intel just emailed me to clarify a point from its Ivy Bridge presentation on Tuesday. While USB 3.0 will finally be integrated into the chipset, Thunderbolt will not.
That's funny. Intel named the new interface Thunderbolt but it's taking years to roll it out. It'll likely hit mainstream around fall 2013.
