Micron today announced its first client/OEM SSDs based on 3D NAND - the Micron 1100 and 2100 SSDs. Both the new Micron 1100 and 2100 SSDs deliver data protection, endurance, power efficiency, reliability and performance at an attractive cost, plus easy management for users and IT administrators. Key benefits across both drive lines include:

• Power Efficiency - Micron maximizes efficiency by reducing power consumption to deliver energy savings for notebooks and desktops alike.
• Performance -Dynamic Write Acceleration has been optimized for common client computing environments, where data writing operations tend to occur in bursts, offering the increased performance without decreasing user capacity.
• Security - The Micron 1100 and 2100 SSDs deliver solid secure features, by placing parameters at the core to protect user data.
• Manageability - With Micron's Storage Executive software, an interface enables users to proactively monitor drive health and perform firmware updates. Additionally, the sanitize feature allows users to easily erase, repurpose and retire an SSD.

Starting with the Micron 1100, it is a mainstream client SATA drive in M.2 and 2.5" form factors. It is based on the Marvell 88SS1074 controller and Micron's 384Gb 32-layer TLC 3D NAND. It will be available in capacities of 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB.

The Micron 1100 has slightly reduced performance and endurance specifications relative to the previous M600 nodel.

The Micron 2100 M.2 PCIe NVME is based on a Silicon Motion controller and will be available in capacities up to 1TB as a double-sided M.2 2280 card. The company has not provided additional details yet.

The Micron 1100 will begin mass production in July, followed by the 2100 by the end of summer.
