Enterprise SSDs: Supercharge Data Center Performance 
The inherent advantages of solid-state memory present compelling new possibilities for enterprise applications. The simple video at right illustrates how replacing a data center’s HDD RAID with a few RealSSD drives could dramatically improve performance on multiple levels.
We’ve developed several whitepapers to explain the technical details:
Power—SSDs can offer significant power savings in NAS and SAN architectures that employ one or more level-5 RAIDs.

Steadily increasing storage requirements pose serious power and performance challenges to data centers. Enter a revolutionary new solution. Micron's new P200 SSDs for enterprise servers deliver much-needed performance while providing significant power savings. Compared to typical enterprise HDDs, these drives are more than 10 times faster at accessing transactional data, consume about a tenth of the power (and require almost zero cooling), and boast a MTBF rate that's off the charts-around 2 million hours compared to 300,000 to 500,000 for HDDs.
SSD advantages for notebook applications are wide ranging and include everything from reliability, portability, and compatibility, to power savings and performance. Drive performance, which can be measured in sustained read and write speeds, is a particularly important metric for notebook computers. Our C200 drives deliver, using MLC NAND process technology and optimized NAND management algorithms. And when you combine that increased performance with improved boot and application load times and lower power consumption, you get a better overall user experience.
