Micron’s New NAND: Great Space, Less Filling
We need the storage capacity in our mobile devices to hold the huge amounts of data we consume. So what’s Micron doing to feed that capacity appetite? Today we announced new 16Gb and 32Gb NAND products built using our ground-breaking 34nm NAND process technology.
Beyond MLC NAND: Some Perspective
There has been quite a buzz in the industry lately about NAND flash products that are capable of storing more than two bits per cell, so I wanted to just take a minute and provide our perspective. Simply put–what ultimately matters is having the lowest cost-per-bit solution in volume production at a given moment in [...]
Choosing the Right NAND
We just published a new white paper that offers an overview of some of the various technologies of NAND across the burgeoning market–from basic MLC and SLC to High-Endurance and Serial NAND. Because each of these flavors offer significantly different performance capabilities, features, and benefits, my hope is that it can be worthwhile starting place [...]
Enterprise-Class NAND: Coming to a Server Near You
Hey guys. The MAST folks asked me to get the blog up to speed on a very exciting announcement—our Enterprise NAND. In a nutshell, Enterprise NAND is a very high endurance SLC NAND device. It has a write/erase cycle endurance of 1 million cycles. Seriously cool–that’s 10X standard NAND. So, what does it mean? Well, [...]
Setting the NAND Speed Record: Optimization Blows Away the Bottleneck
High Speed NAND, ONFI 2.0 and our PCI-e Demo Wow–there’s a been a lot of buzz about our recent PCI-e demonstration so I thought I’d take a minute and talk a little about the NAND we use, as it illustrates how NAND flash, managed to run at its optimum performance, can deliver incredible performance to [...]
