Micron rolls NAND for enterprise storage systems

Micron (Boise, Idaho) introduced a multi-level cell (MLC) NAND product that achieves 30,000 write cycles, according to the company, six times the endurance achievable by standard MLC NAND. The company also announced a single-level cell (SLC) NAND device capable of 300,000 write cycles.

Kilback said the enterprise-class devices are manufactured using Micron's standard 34-nm process. The company selects wafers coming off the line that it thinks will meet the higher endurance requirements and conducts further testing, he said. There is no difference in terms of design or wafer process, he said. "A customer that has designed in the standard MLC or SLC can pretty much just drop these parts in and benefit from additional reliability," Kilback said.

It sounds like they are basically just a binned part from their existing NAND production line.
