Although QLC NAND is a new technology which is introduced in recent month, more and more SSDs are using it now. Perhaps, you want to use this kind of SSDs in your business. Now, please read this post to learn what QLC NAND products are available currently.
Today, we will talk about QLC NAND. As a matter of fact, QLC NAND drives just appear in the market in recent time. If your business wants to use them for experiencing its excellent performance, perhaps, you will want to know what kinds of QIL NAND products are available currently.
You may know Quad-level cell NAND is a relatively new technology which is still under development. However, many digital data storage devices are using QLC NAND technology on the market.
QLC 3D NAND, which has four bits of data per memory cell, can offer 33% more bit density compared with the triple-level cell 3D NAND technology.
QLC NAND Products
Intel Products
INTEL SSD D5-P4326 Series is a new product which has been released recently. It is a kind of QLC NAND SSD which is using 64-layer 3D NAND. This SSD has a capacity of 15.36 TB in both a ruler and 2.5-inch U.2 form factors.
According to some reports from Intel, the available capacity of this drive can reach up to 30.72 TB in third quarter this year. Besides, the drive will come in the ruler from factor and it is aimed at read-intensive cloud applications.
Additionally, Intel also has another two series of QLC NAND products, and they are Intel SSD D5-P4320 Series and Intel SSD 660P Series.
Intel SSD D5-P4320 is an NVMe QLC SSD which is specially designed for the data center. The maximum capacity of the drive is 7.68TB until now.
Intel SSD 660P is also such a kind of drive. Now, the available capacities of the SSD contain 512 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB. All versions SSD of this series are based on 4-layer 3D QLC NAND which is tied to a Silicon Motion SM2263 controller.
Micron Products
Last year, Micron 5210 ION QLC NAND SSD was released to public and it is the world’s first QLC SSD.
This drive is also using 64-layer 3D NAND flash. Currently, the capacity of the drive is ranging from 1.92 TB to 7.68 TB. However, it is using the slower SATA interface but not the PCIe interface, and faster NVMe technology.
As to the data transfer speed, the sequential read/write speeds of the drive can reach up to 540/360 MBps. It also supports random read/write performance of 90K/4.5K IOPS. While, the sequential read/write speeds of Intel D5-P4320 7.68 TB NVMe SSD can even reach up to 3,200/1,000 MBps and the random read/write performance is about 427K/32K IOPS.
According to the saying from Micron, the 5210 ION QLC SSDs are willing to replace HDD in the future. To be specific, the SSDs are aimed at read-intensive, performance-sensitive workloads like AI data lakes, machine and deep learnings, real-time analytics, and Ceph block & object stores.
Crucial P1 NVMe-based QLC SSD is also a product from Micron. It is using 64-layer 3D QLC NAND technology and the Silicon Motion SM2263 controller. At present, the available capacities of the drive contain 500 GB and 1 TB.
Others
This is not the end. There are two other available SATA-based QLC NAND drives: Samsung 860 QVO V-NAND SSD and ADATA Ultimate SU630 3D QLC NAND SSD.
If you are also interested in these two series of QLC NAND products, you can search for them on the internet to get more information.
