Micron 1300 96-Layer TLC 3D NAND SATA SSD in 2 Form Factors

As for the upgrade that you can make for your computer, what’s the best? Without a doubt, it is to switch to an SSD (solid-state drive).

If you have a fast CPU but low storage, your processor will spend much time waiting for your drive to feed it data when handing billions of cycles per second. Besides, speed and capacity are crucial on workloads with massive files, multimedia use cases and streaming images. Fast flash rather than legacy HDD can access data instantly and provides faster read/write speeds (up to 20X).

SSD can boot up in seconds instead of minutes for an HDD and it can load, save and transfer files as fast as a click. Additionally, it is hardier without rotating media, quiet and efficient. It is your good choice to upgrade your PC.

Here, Micron has announced a new SATA SSD: 1300 96-layer TLC 3D NAND SATA SSD that gets exceptional price-to-performance ratios, protects valuable data and offers extremely low power consumption, which is ideal for client computing.

Micron 1300 96-Layer SATA SSD

Make Better Products with Better NAND

The new Micron 1300 SATA SSD is one of the industry’s first 96-layer TLC 3D NAND-based SSDs. With 3D NAND technology, this SSD increases density and capacity while controlling costs and power usage.

Besides, with Micron’s state-of-the-art CMOS under the array (CuA) process and TLC (Triple Layer Cell) technology, the 1300 SATA SSD features slim and small forms. And it can be available in capacities up to 1TB (in M.2) and 2TB (in 2.5-inch). In addition, both of these two form factors also offer other two capacities including 256GB and 512GB.

To sum up, the introduction of this SSD also extends Micron’s leadership in high-density SSD design and mass manufacturing of performance 3D NAND flash drives.

Go Mobile for a Long Time

Micron 1300 96-layer SATA SSD features class-leading power efficiency and it supports device sleep (DEVSLP) low-power mode, which can further extend battery life for extended mobile use. In low-power mode, consuming that the 1300 SATA SSD uses is less than 5mW, which is about 20X less power in active mode.

Get Solid SATA Performance

By utilizing the same trusted platform architecture, proven controller and firmware as the well-accepted Micron 1100 client SSD, the 1300 96-layer TLC 3D NAND SATA SSD experiences strong performance in laptops and tablets.

It can respectively deliver the sequential read/write speeds of up to 530 MB/s and 520 MB/s. And the random read speed of its 256GB model can reach 58,000 IOPS (input/output operations per second) whereas the higher-capacity models can deliver 90,000 IOPS. Besides, the random write performance of all models is rated at 87,000 IOPS.

In addition, the endurance rating of 256GB and 512GB models is 180 and 300 TBW (Terabytes Written), while the 1TB and 2TB models have a 400 TBW rating.

Protect Your Data

The Micron 1300 SSD supports asynchronous power-loss protection for data at rest, adaptive thermal monitoring, Garbage Collection, and S.M.A.R.T. Besides, this solid-state drive uses an XTS AES-256-bit hardware engine and the manufacturer offers optional Opal 2.0 self-encryption technology. Thus, you can protect your valuable data on the go without compromising the SSD’s performance.

Final Words

After reading the above information on Micron 1300 96-layer SATA SSD, you may be interested in the price of this drive. Micron promises the 1300 drive will be affordable, but actually, it hasn’t revealed pricing or availability. Soon, you will know more.

Once it is on the market, you can get one to enjoy its powerful features. Perhaps you may need to transfer your OS to this SSD, the post Easily Migrate Windows 10 to SSD without Reinstalling OS will be helpful for you.
