Micron Delivers Client NVMe™ Performance and Value SSDs With Industry-Leading Capacity Sizes and QLC NAND
May 12 2020 - 8:00AM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced new client
solid-state drives (SSDs) that bring NVMe™ performance to client
computing applications, freeing laptops, workstations and other
portables from legacy architectures that can rob devices of battery
power, performance and productivity. The Micron® 2300 SSD combines
the power and density needed to drive compute-heavy applications in
a compact form factor with the reduced power consumption modern
mobile users demand. For the first time, Micron brings together
NVMe performance and low-cost quad-level-cell (QLC) NAND in the
Micron® 2210 QLC SSD. It combines fast NVMe throughput and Micron’s
leadership in QLC technology to offer flash capabilities at hard
disk drive-like price points while reducing power consumption by 15
times when compared to hard drives.2
“Ninety percent of client platforms will ship NVMe SSDs within
the next year, and the market is fast bifurcating into mainstream
and value market segments," said Roger Peene, vice president of
marketing, Storage Business Unit, Micron. "Our two new client SSDs,
the 2300 and 2210, are optimized for each segment. The 2300 offers
outstanding power performance, while the 2210 delivers compelling
price performance by using Micron's industry-leading QLC NAND.”
Both SSDs introduced today are built on Micron’s innovative
96-layer 3D NAND technology to deliver power savings, right-sized
capacity and compact form factors that enable flexible designs.3
They also deliver enhanced client security features and
capabilities for protecting data, with TCG Opal 2.0 and TCG Pyrite
2.0 support.
Micron 2300 Solid-State Drive with NVMe
The Micron 2300 SSD is designed for applications that demand
high performance and industry-leading capacities in the popular M.2
form factor. Features include the ability to:
- Maximize for data-intensive workloads encompassing CAD,
graphical design and video editing for faster application load
times and responsiveness.
- Offer a wide range of capacity points, from 256GB up to
2TB.
- Fit a broad set of desktop and mobile design needs with a
small, dense, M.2 form factor (22x80).
- Achieve up to 3,300 MB/s sequential reads and up to 2,700 MB/s
sequential writes.
Micron 2210 QLC SSD with NVMe
The Micron 2210 SSD bridges the gap between the low cost of hard
disk drives and the performance, reliability, low power and
security of SSDs. It uses high-density, cost-efficient QLC
architecture that Micron first brought to the data center. Features
include the ability to:
- Improve application load times and responsiveness with fast
NVMe making it ideal for performance-sensitive applications where
hard disk drives can’t keep up.
- Offer a wide range of capacity points from 512GB up to 2TB in
the M.2 (22x80) form factor.
- Provide a cache with greater write endurance and performance
with innovative dynamic write acceleration that is optimized for
QLC architecture.
- Achieve up to 2,200 MB/s sequential reads and up to 1,800 MB/s
sequential writes.
