Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU), today demonstrated its continued NAND technology leadership by announcing that its 232-layer QLC NAND is now in mass production and shipping in select Crucial® SSDs, in volume production to enterprise storage customers and sampling to OEM PC manufacturers in the Micron 2500 NMVeTM SSD.

 

Micron 232-layer QLC NAND delivers unparalleled performance for use cases across mobile, client, edge and data center storage by leveraging these important capabilities:

• Industry-leading bit-density, up to 28% more compact than leading competitors'1 latest products
• Industry-leading NAND I/O speeds of 2400 MT/s,1 a 50% improvement over the prior generation2
• 24% better read performance over the prior generation2
• 31% better programming performance over the prior generation2

"Micron's 232-layer QLC NAND is a key enabler of our high-capacity DirectFlash® Module," said Bill Cerreta, general manager of Hyperscale at Pure Storage®. "Thanks to Micron's NAND innovation, Pure Storage can take one more step on its quest to replace all HDDs in the data center by 2028."
