The official release of the Micron 5400 SATA SSD recently means that we have successfully introduced Micron's cutting-edge 176-layer NAND technology to the data center SATA platform. While the tech world tends to focus on new technologies, protocols, and architectures, it's no secret that current SATA platforms still invest heavily in critical infrastructure. While they also want to apply the latest technology, they are not yet ready for newer iterations.
The SATA platform is a technology that has been deployed in data centers for many years as a storage workhorse, running and delivering critical workloads and services, including business intelligence, noSQL, block/object storage, and even startup services. Micron remains committed to providing all customers with the latest in NAND excellence. That's why we introduced the new 5400 SATA SSD for the data center.
With the 5400 SSD, Micron brings world-leading 176-layer NAND technology to data center SATA SSD products. This advanced technology optimizes performance, enhances the customer experience, meets regular network bandwidth demands, and delivers best-in-class mixed write performance while retaining the embedded foundation of the SATA platform. In addition, we have the broadest product portfolio in the industry to meet different size requirements.
The 5400 SSD is the representative of Micron's 11th generation data center SATA SSD products. The proven and stable architecture has been in use for many years, trusted by major server OEMs, and supports critical global infrastructures. Micron has shipped millions of 5000-series SSDs since 2017, and the 5400 SSDs can easily replace or upgrade existing SSDs and hard drives (HDDs), boosting their performance up to 8TB. The benefit of this is to speed up the customer validation process for the 5400 SSD, while increasing the performance and longevity of the SATA platform.
In addition, Micron's 5400 SSD is known for its reliability 50% higher than other leading SATA SSD products on the market. This means Micron 5400 SSDs will last longer with less failure, while also being backed by an industry-leading 5-year warranty. The Micron 5400 SATA SSD features high-performance, low-cost technology ideal for booting services and is an ideal replacement for a mechanical hard drive. It can also coexist with NVMe SSD environments, providing overall platform quality of service and excellent total cost of ownership.
With Micron's latest 5400 SATA SSD, data center operators can continue to deploy SATA platforms with high-security, low-power SSDs. The proven SATA interface based on the latest NAND technology can extend server life or update platform deployments.
