Micron’s latest high-capacity QLC-based NAND flash chips are currently in full production volume for both consumer and enterprise sectors.
By raising the bit density of these chips, the organization stated that they are 28% more compact than competing products and can deliver NAND I/O speeds of 2400MT/s, which is 50% higher than previous generations.
Micron is still maintaining its pace of achieving several “world’s 1st” records, including QLC NAND layer count at more than 200+.
Looking at an assembled SSD, the Micron 2500 will be the very first PCIe 4.0 drive without the assistance of an AIC that approaches the theoretical maximum speed of the protocol at 7.1GBps sequential read speeds.
The range of capacity and form factors are still expansive as usual, be it M.2 2280/2242/2230, as well as sizes from 512GB to 2TB – the Micron 2500 can be the go-to high performance storage and OS drive for any modern system and handheld console if you desire.
As for OEM partners, Micron will be providing a single-side option for easier and compact integration into things like laptops and ultra-thin devices.
