Micron® 1100 3D NAND SATA SSD with FIPS 140-2 L2 Validation

Get the must-have performance, power efficiency, security and capacity that will make your mainstream computing applications excel. Micron's 1100 SSD, built with revolutionary TLC 3D NAND, delivers the speed and capacity needed to handle massive files, images, and multimedia workloads.

With 512GB of flash memory and up to 5X the endurance of competing SSDs, the 1100 SSD is a cost-competitive, forward-looking solution for a market that is moving to a more SOLID state.

Performance and Power for Client Computing

Micron's 1100 3D NAND SATA solid state drives provide class-leading performance and power efficiency for client computing applications ranging from desktop gaming rigs to corporate road warrior tablets. With FIPS 140-2 validation, 1100 SSDs are self-encrypting drives (SED) ideal for government and public sectors offering an additional level of security.

Micron 1100 SSDs are manufactured to excel in performance, endurance, price, and power while enabling green computing. Device sleep (DEVSLP) low-power modes extend battery life, and several features protect valuable data, including Opal 2.0 self encryption, power-loss protection for data-at-rest, and adaptive thermal monitoring that collectively lowers total cost of ownership (TCO).

Revolutionary 3D NAND technology - Micron’s state-of-the-art process, CMOS under the array (CUA) - allows for 3X the capacity of planar NAND in a vertically tiered compact die. This advancement allows our 1100 SSD to be offered in large M.2 capacities.

SATA 6GB/s Interface

Micron’s solid state drive (SSD) uses a single-chip controller with a SATA interface on the system side and up to four channels of Micron NAND Flash internally. Available in a 2280 M.2 form factor, the SSD integrates easily in existing storage infrastructures.

The SSD is designed to use the SATA interface efficiently during both READs and WRITEs while delivering bandwidth-focused performance. SSD technology enables enhanced boot times, faster application load times, reduced power consumption and extended reliability.

Hardware-Based Encryption

This self-encrypting drive features a FIPS-compliant, AES-256 encryption engine, providing hardware-based, secure data encryption, with no loss of SSD performance. This SED follows the TCG/Opal specification for trusted peripherals.

SSD Reliability

Micron SSDs incorporate advanced technology for defect and error management. They use various combinations of hardware-based error correction algorithms and firmware-based static and dynamic wear-leveling algorithms.

Dynamic Write Acceleration

Dynamic write acceleration optimizes SSD performance for typical client-computing environments, where WRITE operations tend to occur in bursts of commands with idle time between these bursts.

Capacity for accelerated performance is derived from the adaptive usage of the SSD's native NAND array, without sacrificing user-addressable storage. Micron NAND technology enables the SSD firmware to achieve acceleration through on-the-fly mode switching between SLC and TLC modes to create a high-speed SLC pool that changes in size and location with usage conditions.

Under accelerated operation, write performance may be significantly higher than non-accelerated operations. Power consumption per-byte written is lower during accelerated operation, which may reduce overall power consumption and heat production.

Adaptive Thermal Monitoring

The 1100 features adaptive thermal monitoring. While most host computers exhibit operating environments that keep an SSD running in the range of 40°C to 45°C, adaptive thermal monitoring enables the SSD to operate in a wide variety of environments by helping to prevent the host computer from running at excessive temperatures.

Adaptive thermal monitoring reduces total SSD power consumption by the device controller, as well as the NAND media, by injecting time-based delays between internal processing of media commands when the device temperature reaches 75°C. When the feature is active, DRAM refresh rates are also adjusted to improve data integrity and stability while operating outside of temperature specifications.
