Micron Now Shipping Quad-Level Cell NAND SSDs

“Today Micron Technology announced the company is shipping the industry’s first SSD built on revolutionary quad-level cell (QLC) NAND technology. The Micron 5210 ION SSD provides 33 percent more bit density than triple-level cell (TLC) NAND, addressing segments previously serviced with hard disk drives (HDDs). The introduction of new QLC-based SSDs positions Micron as a leader in providing higher capacity at lower costs to address the read-intensive yet performance-sensitive cloud storage needs of AI, big data, business intelligence, content delivery and database systems.”
