RealSSD Solid State Drives Take Storage Designs Further
Micron offers next-generation RealSSD™ solid state drives for the mobile computing market—a market that's quickly discovering the advantages that Flash-based storage offers over hard disk drives (HDDs).
Solid state drives (SSDs) deliver power savings, better performance, and increased reliability without the noise or heat associated with traditional hard drives. They also comply with SATA-IO specifications, so they're easy-to-design-in, drop-in replacements for 1.8- and 2.5-inch drives.
It’s a breakthrough technology that will give your designs a dramatically different level of performance. And Micron has the products, the expertise, and the answers you need to make it happen.
SSD Part Catalog and Documentation
SSD vs. HDD Demo
See how an SSD measures up against an HDD. This demo uses two PCs, one with an SSD and one with HDD, to illustrate the effect that vibrations can have on data rate.

The rugged durability of SSDs comes from a combination of features. Lower power consumption reduces heat dissipation, increases reliability, and improves battery life. The ability to withstand vibrations and shock forces helps reduce data errors and system crashes in mobile PCs. And with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C (and an IT option of −40°C to +85°C), extreme temperatures are no problem either.
Micron’s expertise in NAND Flash technology is at the core of our RealSSD products. From the silicon, to the NAND Flash components, to the SSD—we control the overall quality, performance, and functionality of our NAND-based innovations.
