Based on 176-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory

During its Computex 2021 presentation, Micron has announced it has started shipping its first PCIe 4.0 SSDs, the Micron 2450 and Micron 3400, both featuring the latest 176-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory.

The two new powerful and efficient client SSDs with NVMe PCIe Gen4 interface are meant for the client OEM market and the company was keen to note that these are the first drives based on the latest 176-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory and offer exceptional performance as well as power efficiency, making them suitable for data-intensive workstations as well as for ultrathin, ultraportable notebooks.

The Micron 3400 series are high-end client SSDs and the direct successor of the Micron 2300 series, offering up to 85 percent higher write throughput. Based on an in-house developed controller and the aforementioned 176-layer NAND, the Micron 3400 will be available in 512GB to 2TB capacities and M.2 22x80 form-factor.

According to details provided by Micron, offering read and write performance of up to 6,600MB/s and 5,000MB/s (3,600MB/s write for the 512GB version). The random 4K read and write performance peaks at 720K and 700K IOPS, with an endurance rating of up to 1,200 TBW for the 2TB version.
