Lenovo and Micron 400 "flying off the shelves quicker than they could restock."

From today's PR:
"Preventing data breaches is priority number one for today's enterprise organizations," said Justin Sykes, General Manager of client SSDs at Micron. "We're pleased to see Wave partner with a key customer of ours to bring greater accessibility to flash-based SEDs, which offer the single best combination of security and performance. With Wave, Lenovo customers can deploy and manage an enterprise-wide installation of Micron's C400 SEDs in a fraction of the time it would take to deploy software encryption."

MICRON C400 256GB 6GBPS MSATA SSD REVIEW – CRUCIAL M4 MSATA SSD IN DISGUISE

TUESDAY, JULY 17, 2012

If there was one thing we wouldn’t have predicted, it was the rush of computer enthusiasts lining up to be the first to have what amounts to be the smallest and most powerful consumer storage medium available.

For the most part, we have Lenovo to thank for that as millions of Thinkpad owners played a key role in mSATA SSDs flying off the shelves quicker than they could restock. Industry has responded well, however, as mSATA becomes the new ‘SSD Du Jours’ for the new ultra crowd.

Our report today is going to be our second of the Micron C400 family, the first being the C400 128GB capacity with today’s being what will soon be the industry standard ultrabook size of 256GB. For those wondering about similarities between the Micron C400 and the newly released Crucial M4 SATA 3 SSD, they are twins. Crucial handles the consumer side of things while Micron deals with the OEM and enterprise world; the sole difference between the two seems to be exterior branding sticker only.

The C400 is available in capacities of 32 and 64GB, for SSD caching applications, as well as 128 and 256GB where the sample we are reviewing today is the 256GB capacity. Performance is increased with capacity and the 32GB version is capable of 440MB/s read and 50MB/s write with 55,000 IOPS, whereas the 256GB C400 tops out at 500MB/s read and 260MB/s write and 75,000 IOPS.

Nice to see Lenovo & Micro expect us to be around till the 3rd Q.
If this keeps up, you add Dell and a few other loyalist and we'll have enough players for a friendly game of softball.
Good wishes all
