Micron announced today that it is shipping ninth-generation (G9) TLC NAND in SSDs which the company claims to be the current world's fastest TLC NAND. Micron G9 NAND features the industry’s highest transfer speed of 3.6 GB/s, delivering unsurpassed bandwidth for reading and writing data. The new NAND enables best-in-class performance for artificial intelligence (AI) and other data-intensive use cases from personal devices and edge servers to enterprise and cloud data centres.
Leading-edge technology delivers unrivalled performance
Micron G9 NAND leverages the industry’s fastest NAND I/O speed to meet the high-throughput needs of data-centric workloads, delivering 50% faster data transfer than any NAND currently shipping in an SSD. Micron G9 NAND also delivers up to 99% higher write bandwidth and 88% better read bandwidth per die than currently available competitive NAND solutions. These per-die benefits translate to performance and energy efficiency gains in SSDs and embedded NAND solutions.
Like its previous-generation NAND, Micron G9 NAND fits in a compact 11.5mm x 13.5mm package, using 28% less space than competing products, making it the smallest high-density NAND available. Higher density in a smaller footprint maximizes design options for a diverse set of use cases.
Micron G9 NAND enables class-leading performance in the Micron 2650 SSD
The Micron 2650 NVMe SSD integrates the cutting-edge G9 TLC NAND to deliver a best-in-class user experience for everyday computing that surpasses competitors in PCMark 10 testing. The Micron 2650 NVMe SSD is available in 2230, 2242, and 2280 M.2 form factors, in capacities of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
The Micron 2650 NVMe SSD offers class-leading reliability and features performance-enhancing accelerated caching for faster write performance, courtesy of its Dynamic SLC Cache. The Micron 2650 NVMe SSD provides real-world saturation performance for PCIe Gen4, with up to 7,000 MB/s sequential read. When compared to the competition, it delivers best-in-class performance with up to 70% better sequential read, up to 103% better sequential write, up to 156% better random read, and up to 85% better random write. These impressive figures underscore Micron’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and delivering unparalleled performance to our customers.
Available in the Micron 2650 SSD for client OEMs, G9 NAND is also in qualification with customers in component form and in a consumer-based Crucial SSD.
