Micron has announced two new SSD lines, the P200 and C200-series. The C200-series is the one that will be most interesting to consumers, and Micron calls it a client-focused product. The P200-series, on the other hand, is meant for the enterprise market and will most likely carry a much steeper price tag.

The C200-series is MLC-based and will be available in either 2.5 or 1.8in form factors. The 2.5-inch models will be available in sizes up to 256GB while the 1.8-inch models will be limited to 128GB in comparison. Both models will feature SATA interface and provide read speeds of up to 250MB/s and write speeds of up to 100MB/s, beating just about every single competitor on the market today.

The P200-series is SLC-based and this alone points at these drives being very expensive. The P200-series will only be available in a 2.5-inch form factor and will come in sizes from 16 to 128GB. What sets the P200-series apart is the quoted sequential read and write speeds which are both meant to be able to reach 250MB/s, which again crushes the competition in terms of performance.

Both the C200 and P200-series are expected to launch in Q4 this year, so you have plenty of time to save up until the launch, although no pricing was announced.
