Micron First To Bring 232 Layers To Mainstream SSDs
Search Storage, Tuesday, October 17,2023
The 7500, Micron's latest SSD, uses the company's 232-layer NAND technology to support a broad set of use cases at a lower price point than its high-end counterparts.
Micron introduced the first 200-plus layer mainstream SSD for storage-intensive workloads such as AI, virtualization and real-time analytics.
Released Monday, the Micron 7500 NVMe SSD is a follow-up to the 7450 as a mainstream or read-intensive data center drive for use cases where PCIe flash performance is needed, but doesn't have to be top of the line. At 232 layers, it currently has the highest count of vertically stacked memory cells of any mainstream SSD on the market. The drive is offered in a Pro read-intensive option and a Max mixed-use option, with drive writes per day and capacity being different due to overprovisioning.
