Micron Introduces Industry's Most Advanced 176-Layer NAND Technology Data Center SSD

     Micron Technology, Inc. announced sampling the world's first data center solid-state drive (SSD) based on 176-layer vertically integrated NAND technology. The Micron 7450 NVMeTM SSD delivers Quality of Service (QoS) latencies of 2 milliseconds (ms) or less,1 offering a wide range of storage capacities and form factors to meet the demanding requirements of data center workloads.

     This new data center SSD uses Micron's industry-leading NAND technology to enable ultra-efficient designs, including 176 layers of memory cells and CMOS-under-the-array technology. The 7450 SSD integrates Micron's own DRAM, internally developed SoC system-on-chip and related firmware, which can quickly respond to market customer needs and support stronger device security features.

     "PCIe 4.0 is becoming the most widely used SSD interface in servers, and it's just in time for us to introduce the Micron 7450 SSD, which offers the most advanced data center SSDs," said Jeremy Werner, corporate vice president and general manager of Micron's Storage Group. NAND technology leads the industry and importantly, it reliably reduces latency to sub-2ms, which is critical for achieving quality of service for scale-out data center workloads.”
