THE WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED CLIENT SSD WITH 232-LAYER NAND
The Micron 2550 NVMe SSD delivers the latest, most advanced NAND technology with outstanding PCIe Gen4 performance and a superior user experience.
The 2550 SSD is the world’s first client SSD from any NAND OEM to incorporate >200-layer-class NAND. It enables fast, responsive applications and consumes extremely little power — driven by several Micron innovations.
Low power consumption dramatically helps extend compute time. The Micron 2550 SSD is designed to meet the rigorous requirements of both the Intel Modern Standby Partner Platform Component List and the Open Labs’ SSD test requirements of Intel’s Project Athena.
It is available in 22x30mm, 22x42mm, and 22x80mm form factors and comes in a variety of capacity options ranging from 256GB to 1TB. These options provide OEM system designers the flexibility to build PCs with the right mix of performance, size, weight, and battery life.
WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED 232-LAYER NAND
The Micron 2550 SSD is built with Micron 232-layer NAND for the power efficiency and storage density needed to drive demanding mobile applications.
Leading-Edge NAND Technology Delivers Density & Power Advantages
Micron’s advanced 232-layer NAND features the world’s first six-plane production TLC NAND — the most planes per die of any NAND flash available.
When combined with an independent wordline on each of these six planes, sequential and random input/output operations are improved compared to previous generations of NAND.
Additionally, enhanced read concurrency in the NAND executes multiple simultaneous data reads to deliver higher performance.
Market-Leading Performance Enables Faster, More Responsive Applications
The Micron 2550 SSD enables faster, more responsive applications in mainstream PC platforms, including gaming, consumer, and business client devices.
Micron’s innovations, such as predictive cache optimization, improve users’ experiences and outperform competitors in PCMark 10 benchmarks.
Storage That Prolongs Battery Life
Power savings are provided through Micron's optimization of entry and exit into self-initiated, energy-saving states, use of an advanced process node for the controller, and elimination of DRAM via HMB technology.
These innovations collectively deliver:
- Sleep power consumption under 2.5 milliwatts
- Active idle power consumption under 150 milliwatts
- Active power consumption below 5.5 watts
These advances enable longer battery life for daily computing needs.
The Micron 2550 SSD is also designed to meet the rigorous power-saving requirements of both the Intel Modern Standby Partner Platform Component List and the Open Labs’ SSD test requirements of Intel’s Project Athena.
Micron 2550 SSD Key Benefits
The World’s First Client SSD from a NAND OEM With >200-Layer NAND
The Micron 2550 SSD is built with Micron’s industry-leading 232-layer NAND, delivering density and power advantages.
This leading-technology NAND offers:
- 100% higher write bandwidth
- More than 75% higher read bandwidth per die
- The world’s first six-plane production TLC
Compared to the prior generation, the Micron 2550 SSD significantly improves overall performance and efficiency.
Gen4 Performance That Surpasses the Competition
The Micron 2550 SSD outperforms competitors in PCMark 10 benchmark scores.
This new Micron SSD firmware is optimized for the needs of client devices with features like:
- Predictive Cache Optimization: The Micron 2550 SSD actively manages data writes by placing the busiest and most active data in the fastest part of the SSD — the SLC mode cache.
- Modern Standby: This breakthrough technology enables devices to quickly wake up from low-power sleep to active working modes.
Superior User Experience for Daily Computing
The right user experience is everything in client computing, and users will enjoy the ultra-responsiveness of the Micron 2550 SSD day in and day out.
The Micron 2550 SSD offers excellent PCMark 10 performance scores and long battery life with host memory buffer (HMB) technology.
