Micron Delivers the World's Most Advanced Client SSD Featuring 232-Layer NAND Technology

Wirko · Dec 8, 2022

Skyscraper builders can't keep up anymore, the Khalifa tower in Dubai only has 163 layers.

I get it, SSD's are like Onions

They make you cry when you cut them open

But average gamers and consumers in general are still wide eyed at the fact that SSDs are so fast as is.

This. In real world applications, anything that can perform consistently above 1GB per second will blow your doors off on the average PC.

Sorry wasnt an attack on you or anything. Not sure if this post seems aggressive

I didn't see that, but then again, I'm often accused of the same thing when it's not intended.

Micron 2550 SSD 1TB SSD Review - 232 Layers of Domination

Micron's new 2550 SSD series represents our first look at Micron's newly minted 232-Layer B58R flash, and all we can say is a big huge WOW!

Well it looks like micron has proven everyone in this thread wrong by showing that it is one of the best overall performing ssds out there despite its handicaps. Doing all that while sipping power in a laptop or power efficient SFF build? Yeah who needs them Hynixes anymore...for now.

It's frustrating when we know more layers tends to mean lower write endurance, but also important because moar space

(Yes i know not always, but it's a trend)

Interestingly the image I posted in the MX500 QLC thread shows as they added more layers to TLC endurance surpassed planar MLC levels. Also throughput went up per die as well.

Check the endurance row on this graph. Goes up as they add more layers.

You sure that's not from increasing the density of the drives?
2TB to 4TB doubles the TBW, so that while the overall TBW goes up the TBW at the same disk size could be down

chrcoluk · Dec 21, 2022

TBW increases with capacity but PEC I wouldnt expect to change with it. Hopefully someone else can jump in with their opinion.

What was that? I don't remember too many of us saying these new NAND chips were bad performers. I never did. Careful with your blanket statements.
