Micron Ships the Industry’s First 176-Layer QLC NAND in Volume and Unveils the 2400 PCIe Gen4 Client SSD
2022年1月11日 - 11:00PM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced it has begun
volume shipments of the world's first 176-layer QLC NAND SSD. Built
with the most advanced NAND architecture, Micron’s 176-layer QLC
NAND delivers the industry’s leading storage density and optimized
performance for a broad range of data-rich applications. Designed
for use cases spanning client and data center environments,
Micron’s transformative new NAND technology is now available with
the introduction of the Micron 2400 SSD, the world’s first
176-layer PCIe Gen4 QLC SSD for client applications. The new
176-layer QLC NAND will also be incorporated into select Micron
Crucial consumer SSDs, and available as a component for system
designers.
Micron’s groundbreaking 176-layer QLC NAND provides a layer
count and density unprecedented in QLC NAND flash and follows
Micron’s delivery of the industry’s first 176-layer TLC NAND.
Additionally, Micron’s 176-layer QLC NAND enables 33% higher I/O
speed1 and 24% lower read latency2 than Micron’s prior generation
solution. Its replacement-gate architecture is the only mass
production QLC flash storage that combines charge trap with a
CMOS-under-array design. These improvements are driving adoption of
QLC SSDs in the client PC market, which is expected to triple QLC
adoption by 2023, exceeding 35%, and reaching nearly 80% bit share
in 2025.3
"Micron’s 2400 SSD builds upon our 176-layer NAND industry
leadership to drive the transition to QLC-based storage for the
client market,” said Jeremy Werner, corporate vice president and
general manager of Micron’s Storage Business Unit. “Furthering our
market leadership, we expect the new 2400 PCIe Gen4 SSD will
significantly accelerate the adoption of QLC in client devices as
it enables broader design options and more affordable
capacity."
QLC NAND SSD for everyday computingThe Micron
2400 SSD delivers industry-leading storage density in a mainstream,
value NVMe SSD to enable flexible OEM solution design and provide
an uncompromising user experience. With 176-layer NAND and PCIe
Gen4 technologies combined, the 2400 SSD doubles the performance of
Micron’s previous generation client SSD and delivers 23% faster
read time for accelerated boot and load times.4
The Micron 2400 SSD is also the world’s only 2TB 22x30mm M.2
SSD. This form factor shrinks the physical space required by 63%
when compared with a 22x80mm M.2 form factor, providing design
flexibility and making the drive ideal for small, mobile laptop
designs. It is also available in 22x42mm and 22x80mm M.2 form
factors, all with common firmware to minimize design qualification
efforts.
The 2400 SSD provides a robust user experience across diverse
use cases enabled in part by Micron’s Host Memory Buffer technology
that allows the host to flexibly optimize performance. The SSD
features low-power consumption for all-day, untethered computing,
with active idle power being reduced by 50% from Micron’s previous
generation solution. The Micron 2400 SSD is designed to meet Intel
Project Athena requirements, enabling more than nine hours of
real-world battery life on laptops even when using high-definition
displays.5
