Will the Cloud Drive more Personal Storage?

The Consumer Electronics Show is a great place to pick up on technology trends; this year, everyone was talking about mobile devices and streaming content from the cloud. We’ve been fielding questions about the cloud for a while from people who assume it will mean a smaller memory market as smartphones and tablets scale back [...]

Controlling Complexity with ClearNAND™ Flash

One of our existing NAND customers, Maryland-based Data Design Corporation, specializes in custom electronic designs for national laboratories, defense, and industrial applications. Their engineers had a great idea for a custom PCIe storage device. But they had a problem—standard NAND ECC requirements have been changing with each generation resulting in expensive reengineering of the NAND [...]

A Trillion Bits on a Fingertip

A terabit in a single NAND package—that’s what our latest NAND will deliver. I think a lot of people have a hard time understanding how these numbers relate to the real world, though. Our new 128Gb 20nm device can store a terabit of data in a single package of just 8 die, but what does [...]

Glen Hawk Interview from FMS

I had a chance to sit down with Glen Hawk—our VP of NAND solutions—at this year’s Flash Memory Summit to talk about the conference and his keynote there. He had a lot to share about the growth of NAND, it’s place in a cloud-computing world, and where the technology is headed. His keynote also featured [...]

Award-Winning NAND

More exciting news from Santa Clara: Yesterday Micron and Intel received the award for the Most Innovative Flash Memory Technology at the Flash Memory Summit. The award recognizes our industry-leading 20nm NAND process technology.

It’s Time for the Flash Memory Summit!

I’m at the Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, California where final preparations are underway on the tradeshow floor. We are a long-time participant in the Summit and are really excited for the opportunity to speak and meet with our partners and peers in this industry.

20nm NAND—Smaller and Better

Today, Intel and Micron announced our latest advancement of NAND process technology—20nm NAND. Our new device crams 8GB into about 40% less die area than our already-tiny 25nm NAND.

ClearNAND™ Flash–Another Reason NAND is the Best Nonvolatile Memory Available

Get the details about what it is, how it works, and why it’s advantageous in this whiteboard overview.

Trends in Flash Memory–The Future is Clear

We recently sat down with Glen Hawk, our VP of NAND Solutions, to talk about the company’s direction and vision for NAND Flash memory.

Hitachi-LG Data Storage Uses Micron 25nm NAND in New Hybrid Drive

Micron today announced that our 25nm NAND is being used in a new all-in-one storage and media solution from Hitachi-LG Data Storage (HLDS), called Hybrid Drive. The innovations Micron has made in NAND flash memory continue to spark new and compelling end-product designs from our customers – the Hybrid Drive being one of them.
