In Micron’s keynote at this time at (digital) Computex, the reminiscence producer introduced they’ve began transport the businesses first PCIe 4.Zero SSDs, utilizing their newest 176-layer 3D TLC NAND flash reminiscence. The two new product households are the Micron 3400 and 2450 collection consumer SSDs.
The 3400 collection is their high-end consumer SSD, with double the learn throughput of their previous Micron 2300, and 85% increased write throughput. The 3400 makes use of Micron’s newest in-house SSD controller design, and Micron is touting efficiency and energy effectivity that make the drive appropriate for functions starting from notebooks to workstations. As is typical for high-end consumer PCIe 4.Zero SSDs, the capability choices begin at 512GB and go up 2TB.
The Micron 2450 collection is a extra entry-level design however nonetheless that includes PCIe 4.Zero assist. This one makes use of a third-party DRAMless controller, seemingly the Phison E19T (additionally believed for use within the recently-announced WD Black SN750 SE). The 2450 is on the market in three totally different M.2 card lengths from the standard 80mm all the way down to the 30mm card measurement appropriate for very compact methods. The Micron 2450 collection covers the extra mainstream capability vary of 256GB via 1TB.
The most highly-awaited merchandise with Micron’s 176L 3D TLC is likely to be the upcoming refreshed Phison E18 drives that threaten to dominate the high-end market phase, however Micron’s personal 176L SSDs will assist carry this newest era of NAND to a wider vary of merchandise, together with pre-built methods the place OEMs seldom supply choices fairly as high-end as a Phison E18 drive. Micron’s new consumer SSDs are already in quantity manufacturing and transport to clients.
