Micron Announces RealSSD P320h PCIe SSD – 750,000 4K Random Read IOPS
Micron today announced a new portfolio of PCI Express (PCIe) solid-state storage systems, the RealSSD P320h solid-state drive (SSD) series. This new RealSSD P320h series delivers extreme performance and endurance demanded by data-intensive enterprise applications including cloud computing, high-performance computing, data analytics, business intelligence, and video on demand. The P320h system uses Microns proven 34-nanometer (nm) single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory technology, which provides two different user capacities: 350 gigabyte (GB) and 700GB. From the NAND silicon to the controller to the complete system solution, the P320h SSD is designed and developed by Micron. Micron is now delivering early samples of the P320h, with mass production expected to begin in the third quarter. We contacted Micron about pricing and they said they would like to see this drive priced below $16/GB, which is pretty competitive from a enterprise data center market perspective. Yes, these are for enterprise data centers and not for consumer PCs.
Micron is defining a whole new category of enterprise-class storage with our P320h PCIe solid-state storage systems, said Gary Gentry, general manager, enterprise division, Microns NAND solutions group. The P320h provides customers with the most compelling performance solution in the industry.
