The Micron(R) S600 Series of SAS SSDs Delivers Enterprise-Class
Performance, Capacity and Reliability, Marking the Company's First
Offering Developed Jointly With Seagate
BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU) today announced a new portfolio
of SAS solid state drives (SSDs) that are workload-optimized for
customers demanding continuous availability of their enterprise
applications, such as data analytics, financial transactions and
media streaming.
The new Micron S600DC SSD series offer IT managers
a compelling solution by incorporating a better overall package of
customer benefits than previous drive offerings, including
consistent performance, industry-leading storage capacity, and
superior data availability and security. The SSD series is the
first product family developed as part of Micron's strategic
agreement with Seagate earlier this year. It combines flash
innovation and SAS expertise from both companies.
Flash technology is driving significant growth in
SAS markets. Micron projects a 59 percent growth rate for SAS SSDs
over the next four years*. SSD adoption is gaining quickly in
business-critical, data-intensive applications, such as credit card
transactions and health records processing, which place significant
emphasis on data availability and reliability. The S600DC series,
which includes the S610DC, S630DC and S650DC, delivers the
performance benefits of Micron's trusted flash storage technology
while still providing the enterprise-hardened reliability,
capacity, and encryption demanded by today's storage
architects.
"These new SAS drives fill a critical position in
our enterprise SSD portfolio, expanding storage solutions that
cross applications, workloads and interfaces," said Darren Thomas,
vice president of storage at Micron. "These offerings extend our
leadership as an end-to-end enterprise flash storage provider, from
technology all the way to our workload-optimized SSDs."
"Our partners and customers depend on flash
technologies to meet the challenges of providing fast performance
in data analytics, while staying within expenditure limits. The
Micron - Seagate partnership created the storage technology
necessary in this offering to exceed their expectations," said
Brett Pemble, general manager, flash products division at Seagate
Cloud Systems and Electronics Solutions.
The key product features of the S600DC SSD series
include:
- Industry-leading storage
density with up to 4TB-class capacity in a 2.5-inch form
factor
- High performance
of the dual-port interface can provide up to 1,800MB/s sequential
read performance or high data availability with failover
redundancy
- Power loss
protection maintains data integrity and prevents the loss
of user data in flight in the event of unexpected power
interruptions
- Superior data
protection and reliability is achieved by combining full
internal and external data path protection and multi-layered error
recovery technology with advanced error detection/correction
encoding optimized for NAND media
- Multiple layers of
security including secure diagnostics that help prevent
malicious attacks, self-encrypting drive capability secures user
data, and FIPS certification to ensure the drive meets stringent
security standards
The Micron S600 series SSDs are in initial
production and will be sold directly to data center equipment
manufacturers and through Micron's distribution partners. For
