Micron First to Production of 200+ Layer QLC NAND in Client and Data Center
2024年4月16日 - 10:02PM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today demonstrated its
continued NAND technology leadership by announcing that its
232-layer QLC NAND is now in mass production and shipping in select
Crucial® SSDs, in volume production to enterprise storage customers
and sampling to OEM PC manufacturers in the Micron 2500 NMVeTM SSD.
Micron 232-layer QLC NAND delivers unparalleled performance for
use cases across mobile, client, edge and data center storage by
leveraging these important capabilities:
- Industry-leading bit-density, up to 28% more compact than
leading competitors'1 latest products
- Industry-leading NAND I/O speeds of 2400 MT/s,1 a 50%
improvement over the prior generation2
- 24% better read performance over the prior generation2
- 31% better programming performance over the prior
generation2
“Micron’s 232-layer QLC NAND is a key enabler of our
high-capacity DirectFlash® Module,” said Bill Cerreta, general
manager of Hyperscale at Pure Storage®. “Thanks to Micron's NAND
innovation, Pure Storage can take one more step on its quest to
replace all HDDs in the data center by 2028.”

Hynix, Solidigm, Kioxia, WD and Samsung.2 Comparisons are based on
Micron 232-layer QLC NAND vs. previous Micron 176-layer QLC NAND
generation.
Micron 2500 Client SSDThe Micron 2500 raises
the bar for everyday computing with its best-in-class performance
to significantly enhance the PC user experience. For the second
generation in a row, Micron is first to ship QLC-based client NVMe
SSDs with the highest NAND layer count. The Micron 2500 SSD stands
alone as the world's first client SSD to integrate 200+ layer QLC
NAND.
“We are impressed with the capabilities of the Micron 2500 SSD,
so we are excited to qualify it for our mainstream platform storage
options. With its leadership user experience, it is the perfect
match for our high-performance AMD Ryzen™ processors,” said Joe
Macri, senior vice president and corporate fellow at AMD.
The 2500 SSD enables a user experience that surpasses
competitive TLC- and QLC-based SSDs while also setting a new
storage standard for productivity in daily PC applications and
computing tasks. It has demonstrated superior PCMark® 10 experience
benchmark results, outperforming the average scores of QLC and TLC
competitors in the value SSD segment by up to 45%.3
"Micron continues its leadership and innovation in the client
SSD market as the industry shifts to QLC-based storage," said
Prasad Alluri, vice president and general manager of Micron's
Client Storage Group. "We anticipate that the 2500 SSD will further
accelerate QLC adoption in PCs as it delivers a world-class user
experience and value proposition."
“By integrating the Micron 2500 QLC SSD into our PCs, we’re
ensuring a superior user experience. Micron’s innovations in QLC
NAND mean our customers enjoy the benefits of reliable storage
without compromise,” said Y.C. Chen, associate vice president of
ASUS Group. “Additionally, the compact form factor and 2TB density
allow us to create class-leading thin and light devices.”
The Micron 2500 SSD is breaking new ground as the world’s first
QLC SSD that approaches PCIe® Gen 4 theoretical saturation
performance, boasting up to 7.1 GB/s sequential read speeds. It
outperforms TLC-based NAND and QLC-based NAND SSDs in the value
segment, with superior performance to competitor offerings: 4

Enhancing the performance of the Micron 2500 SSD is its
accelerated caching feature which ensures the fastest read and
write performance under most applications. The Micron 232-layer QLC
NAND enables a robust SSD write endurance specification. Even the
smallest capacity Micron 2500 512GB SSD has enough endurance to
support thirteen 4K movie downloads per day, every day for three
years.5
The Micron 2500 SSD is available in 22 x 30mm, 22 x 42mm and 22
x 80mm form factors, in 512GB up to 2TB capacities. Notably, it
features a compact 2TB 22 x 30mm option that is perfect for
handheld gaming devices. The single-sided design of these SSDs
provides greater flexibility for OEMs to integrate into systems
that range from ultra-thin devices to workstations. For more

Estimated 14GB per 2-hour 4K movie. The Micron 2500 (512GB) is
rated for 200TB TBW (total bytes written), which provides enough
endurance for a daily average of over 182 GB per day of data
written over its 3-year warranty. The 1TB and 2TB capacities have
higher TBW ratings respectively.
