Micron SSD Advances the Portable Computing Experience - Seite 2

This unique write architecture also helps the M600 achieve greater longevity. For example, the 1TB M600 is warranted to reach up to 400TB total bytes written (TBW), which is five times more than typical client drives.^iv That's enough endurance to write 220GB a day, every day, for five years-dramatically more than a normal client workload and enough to make even the most cautious user stop worrying about SSD wear-out.

The M600 is also equipped with powerful self-encryption technology designed to meet strict government standards-ensuring valuable mobile data is secure even in the event of theft or loss. The M600's AES-256-bit hardware encryption engine actively encrypts data without performance degradation and complies with the TCG(TM) Opal 2.0 standards and the Microsoft^® eDrive protocol, making it easy to enable using management tools or within Windows 8.^v

The M600 uses Micron's 16nm process technology- their most advanced Flash technology and winner of TechInsights' Most Innovative Memory Device and Semiconductor of the Year. The drive features a host of quality and reliability features that Micron customers have come to expect, including RAIN onboard fail-over protection, client-class power-loss protection for data at rest, and adaptive thermal monitoring, which dynamically adjusts power consumption based on system temperature-ideal for ultra-small, thermally constrained systems.

"The M600 sets a new bar for power, security and efficiency in client SSDs and delivers on our vision to provide the most advanced storage solutions," said Darren Thomas, vice president of Micron's storage business. "OEMs expect Micron to deliver leading-edge SSDs that give their products an advantage and a noticeably better user experience. The M600 fulfills that promise."

The M600 SSD uses Micron's 128Gb NAND to enable a wide range of capacities in tiny configurations. The M600 is offered in 128, 256 and 512GB mSATA and M.2 module configurations. The gumstick-sized M.2 module is offered in both 80mm and 60mm versions (2280 and 2260) to provide versatile options for ultra-slim tablet systems. The M600 is also available in a 2.5-inch, 7mm form factor, which is available in capacities from 128GB to 1TB.

The M600 SSD is currently in production and is sold directly to OEMs and to system builders and businesses through Micron's extensive distribution network. For additional information on the key features of the M600, visit www.micron.com.
