The popular Hard Drives (HDD) of computers seem to be destined for extinction. And making this new SDD (Solid State Drive) from Micron would be in charge of giving the final stitch.
According to what colleagues at Computer Hoy Micron presents a device, chipset or whatever you want to call it that works with connection via SATA and better performance with respect to reliability against errors.
The aforementioned portal indicates that the device in question is called Micron 5400. It comes to be the direct successor to the Micron 5300 launched by the company in October 2019. That chipset, which is still in force, performs optimally with a 96-layer NAND.
So, they highlight that this would be an evolution of the previous one since it works with similar capacities, performance, connector and form factor.
Speed and storage capacity of the new SSD
Computer Today explains that both devices; the 5400 and 5300, have the same sequential read speed: about 540 MB/s, an MTTF of 3 million and offers a 5-year warranty.
However, the improvement of the Micron 5400 SDD is that it comes with a 2.5-inch design and a SATA port. The sizes it presents range from 240 GB to 7.68 TB.
Micron, although not yet specific prices, reported that it is going to market with three versions. The first, one that they call starter; the second, which receives the title of Pro and the third, obviously, the Max.
“The latter is optimized for mixed use, offering much greater resistance compared to the Pro SKUs, which are more oriented to intensive reading scenarios,” specified Computer Hoy specialists.
Micron had not been on the market with an SDD since the last quarter of 2019, just before the covid-19 pandemic. During that time, it kept its focus on microSD cards, with a 1.5 TB being the most prominent in virtual stores.
