2400 SSD Billed as the most advanced NAND architecture

Micron has started volume shipments of the world's first 176-layer QLC NAND SSD.

Micron claims that its Micron 2400 SSD product is built with the most advanced NAND architecture and delivers the industry’s leading storage density and optimised performance for a broad range of data-rich applications.

The SSD is designed for use cases spanning client and data centre environments. 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 claims the QLC NAND enables 33 per cent higher I/O speed1 and 24 per cent lower read latency 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 the adoption of QLC SSDs in the client PC market, which is expected to triple QLC adoption by 2023, exceeding 35 per cent, and reaching nearly 80 per cent bit share in 2025.3
