Micron has announced its first client and OEM oriented solid-state drives based on 3D NAND, the Micron 1100 and Micron 2100.

Based on Marvell's 88SS1074 controller and Micron's 384Gb 32-layer TLC NAND, the Micron 1100 is a mainstream client SSD that will be available in both M.2 and standard 2.5-inch form-factor and feature SATA 6Gbps interface.

The Micron 1100 should replace the Micron M600, which used 16nm MLC NAND and will be available in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB capacities. Offering sequential read and write performance of up to 530MB/s and 500MB/s as well as random 4K read and write performance of up to 92K and 83K IOPS, it is obvious that the Micron 1100 is a mainstream SSD.

The Micron 2100 is a M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD that is actually Micron's first client oriented PCIe SSD and also the first PCIe SSD based on 3D NAND. Unfortunately, Micron still did not finalize the precise specifications but did note that it will be available in capacities reaching 1TB.

The Micron 1100 is expected to hit mass production in July, when we expect to see some of the first drives while the Micron 2100 will be coming by the end of summer.
