Additionally, this technology offers a 24% enhancement in read performance and a 31% increase in programming performance relative to its predecessors. Bill Cerreta, the general manager of Hyperscale at Pure Storage, highlighted the impact of Micron's 232-layer QLC NAND, stating its crucial role in supporting Pure Storage's goal to phase out HDDs from data centers by 2028 through the use of their high-capacity DirectFlash Module. This innovation underscores Micron's leadership and commitment to advancing NAND technology.
There are three form factors: M.2 2280/2242/2230, and three capacity models: 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB. Transfer speeds vary depending on capacity; the 2TB model has sequential read 7,100MB/sec, write 6,000MB/sec, random read 1,000,000 IOPS, and write 1,000,000 IOPS, and the 1TB model has 7,100MB/sec, 5,800MB/sec, and 900,000 IOPS write. IOPS, 1,000,000 IOPS, 512GB model is 6,600MB/sec, 3,650MB/sec, 530,000 IOPS, 860,000 IOPS. The bus interface is PCI Express 4.0(x4)/NVMe 1.4c, the total write amount is 600TBW for 2TB, 300TBW for 1TB, 200TBW for 512GB, and MTTF is 2 million hours.
