Micron Enhances Enterprise SSD Portfolio

Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU) has introduced a new solid-state drive (SSD), providing enterprise customers with a compelling price-to-performance NAND Flash memory storage option. According to the company, this new drive is called the RealSSD P400e, and it enhances Micron's tiered enterprise SSD portfolio with an entry-level enterprise solution.

"Storage architects and system administrators demand an increasingly lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Many have previously attempted to achieve this by using client SSDs that are not designed to handle rigorous 24 x 7 enterprise workloads. The new P400e meets those demands. By leveraging Micron's expertise in multilevel cell (MLC) NAND design, wear management and SSD firmware, the P400e drive delivers excellent input/output operations per second (IOPs) per dollar, along with enterprise endurance and reliability.

"The P400e SSD ships in capacities ranging from 50 gigabyte (GB) to 400GB in a standard 2.5-inch, 7 millimeter (mm) Z-height form factor that is ideal for thin server blade designs. The drive's SATA 6 gigabit per second (Gb/s) interface is backward compatible to SATA 3 Gb/s, allowing customers to use the drive with today's infrastructure while also future-proofing their systems to leverage the faster interface. The P400e drive's focused steady-state performance1 offers a compelling reason to upgrade from spinning media. Additionally, Micron's 25 nanometer (nm) MLC NAND is the foundation of the P400e's low TCO, which is a key driver for the growing encroachment of SSDs into enterprise hard disk drive (HDD) slots."
