The world’s first client SSD with 232-layer NAND brings outstanding PCIe Gen4 performance and superior user experience.1
Client platforms used to be held back by slow, legacy storage. The Micron 2550 NVMe SSD changes the equation with outstanding benchmark scores and performance that surpasses the competition.
The Micron 2550 SSD is designed for a superior user experience based on the latest, most advanced NAND technology. This enables a more responsive client device that runs longer on a single charge.
Micron's advanced NAND lays the foundation for the impressive performance of the Micron 2550 SSD in client applications. The NAND features the world's first 6-plane production TLC NAND, independent word line on each plane and read-concurrency that executes simultaneous data reads to deliver higher performance.
The Micron 2550 SSD enables faster, more responsive applications in mainstream PC platforms, including gaming, consumer and business client devices. Micron’s predictive cache optimization dynamically adjusts for higher write performance.
The Micron 2550 SSD delivers a superior user experience, as evidenced by competitive PCMark 10® benchmark scores.1 Power savings are provided through Micron's optimization of entry and exit into self-initiated energy saving states, usage of an advanced process node for the controller and elimination of DRAM via Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology.2 These combine to provide battery-sipping sleep power consumption under 2.5 milliwatts, active idle power consumption under 150 milliwatts and active power consumption below 5.5 watts – enabling longer battery life for daily computing needs.
1Internal Micron PCMark 10 testing metrics demonstrate that the Micron 2550 SSD leads competitors’ SSDs. Competitors’ SSDs are comparable to the Micron 2550 SSD and come from the top five client SSD revenue market share leaders as noted in Forward Insights SSD Supplier Status Q3, Nov. 22, 2022.
2Host Memory Buffer technology enables the SSD to use system memory for SSD internal operations.
The Micron 2550 SSD leverages Micron's leading-edge NAND to deliver density and power advantages. Users will experience faster, more responsive applications and longer battery life from their work and client devices.
Data center SSDs vs. client SSDs (that is, SSDs made for a PC): Using a client SSD in a data center application? It’s imperative to understand the performance and design differences.
Micron SSDs help defend data at the infrastructure layer. This paper provides an overview of Micron SSD security technologies.
