Explosion speed SSD `` Micron X100 '' that can read and write at over 9 GB per second and 3 times the conventional speed appears

Micron, the US semiconductor giant, announced the Micron X100 , an

SSD that achieved ultra-high transfer rates and ultra-low latency using 3D XPoint technology jointly developed with Intel.

Up to now, storage using 3D XPoint technology has been developed under the brand Optane by Intel and Micron by QuantX , but Micron has recently launched a very simple product name called 'X100'.

With 3D XPoint technology, the sequential transfer speed is 9GB / s for both reading and writing. SSDs with a transfer rate much higher than conventional SSDs and approaching that of volatile memory

DRAMs were born.

The standard is

NVMe, which is faster than SATA , and can be connected to a PCIe slot with x16 lanes.

Although the detailed specifications are not clear, the movie released by Micron shows the benchmark test result that 4 KB random read performance has reached 2.5M

IOPS .

In addition, latency causing delay is 1/11 of general SSD, which is very low.

Details such as the release date are unknown at the time of article creation, but AnandTech, a magazine specialized in hardware information, said, “The Micron X100 will be offered experimentally to some users from October to December 2019, It will not be in the storage market in the near future, ”he pointed out, suggesting that it will appear after 2020.
