Micron Boosts Client Computing Performance With Introduction of New NVMe SSD Portfolio
March 18 2019 - 9:00AM
News Highlights
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced a new
solid-state drive (SSD) portfolio featuring support for the NVM
Express™ (NVMe™) protocol, bringing increased bandwidth and reduced
latency to client computing markets. The Micron® 2200 PCIe™ NVMe
SSD is a vertically integrated solution — including 3D TLC NAND,
internally designed ASIC drive controller and firmware in an M.2
form factor. This solution allows Micron to address growing needs
across original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and broader client
markets for NVMe storage class drives.
Users want to enhance their computing experience through
improved responsiveness for instant access to files and media,
higher capacity to store rich content, longer battery life and
sleek form factors in their favorite compute devices. NVMe SSDs
address these needs better than rotating media technology does,
while offering increased reliability and performance.
“By the end of 2020, over 65 percent of the client PC market is
projected to transition to NVMe SSDs, with rapidly increasing
average device capacities,” said Roger Peene, vice president of
product planning and strategy for Micron’s Storage Business Unit.
"The Micron 2200 PCIe NVMe SSD accelerates the adoption of SSDs by
addressing the storage-intensive workloads in client computing that
demand performance at compelling prices.”
The newly introduced Micron 2200 PCIe NVMe SSD with 3D TLC NAND
is designed to deliver accelerated read/write performance and low
latency. These capabilities provide users with a much more
responsive PC for business collaboration and creativity
applications.
Delivering up to 3GB/second sequential reads, 1.6GB/second
sequential writes, 240,000 inputs/outputs (IOPS) random reads, and
210,000 IOPS random writes, the Micron 2200 SSD accelerates
workloads such as video streaming and editing. It features dynamic
write acceleration that enables burst data writes, offering the
highest performance possible without decreasing user capacity.
The drive’s small size and compact M.2 form factor supports OEMs
by allowing them to design sleek and lightweight client devices.
The 2200 SSD delivers up to 1TB high-capacity flash storage,
enabling users to store large files, images and multimedia assets.
Further, its self-governing power feature improves battery life
with lower power states that are up to 98 percent more power
efficient than HDDs, extending device battery life and user
productivity.1 In addition, the host-controlled thermal management
(HCTM) reduces the drive's operating temperature to protect other
system components.
The Micron 2200 PCIe NVMe SSD portfolio meets security needs for
commercial PCs through its self-encrypting drive (SED) technology.
Its reliable encryption for data at rest complies with the TCG™
Opal 2.0 standards.
The Micron 2200 PCIe NVMe portfolio of SSD drives is available
now.
