*The Micron 5210 was the world’s first QLC SSD to be shipped and sold, on May 21, 2018.

Key Benefits

Read. Learn. Analyze. Act.

Introducing the world’s first QLC SSD.
Created for the data age.

The first SSD to challenge hard drives is here. The Micron® 5210 ION is
the world’s first SSD to market with ground-breaking quad-level cell (QLC)
NAND technology, delivering fast capacity for less.*

Designed for the workloads of today and tomorrow, the Micron 5210 SSD
accelerates analysis into action. It’s ideal for handling the demands of real­time analytics, big data, media streaming, block/object stores,
SQL/NoSQL, and the data lakes that feed artificial intelligence (AI) and
machine learning.

**

Before the age of AI, data center read-to-write ratios
Now they’re more like 5,000:1 and solutions to problems are increasingly
found in data patterns. Whether you’re querying a 10TB SQL database,
streaming content and adjusting to traffic, or analyzing daily transactions
to tune your business model, real-time speed reading is key.

were typically 4:1.

Spin Struggles. You Don’t Have To.

Get 175X faster random reads, 30X faster random writes, 2X
faster sequential throughput and 3X more energy efficiency
than the largest 10K hybrid HDDs.***

Quickly Access and Analyze Data Stores

Cull oceans of data for answers while writing lots of data.****
Adjust endurance and write performance with our signature

Flex Capacity feature.

Unlock the Potential of Huge Data Sets

Capacities starting in terabytes, not gigabytes. QLC
technology allows you to store 33 percent more bits per cell
and get more fast capacity for less.

Rely on a Trusted, Proven Architecture

The same controller and core components as our popular
Micron 5200 series of SSDs. New QLC NAND. The result?
Easy to qualify at comparable value to 10K RPM hard drives.

Experience a Full Data Center Feature Set

Get everything you expect: AES 256-bit encryption, TCG
Enterprise options, end-to-end data path protection, power
loss protection, and 5-year warranty.

**According to research published in “Data St orage, AI, and IO Patterns” (http://www.enterpris estorageforum.com/print/stor age-technology/data-storage-ai-and-io-patterns. html).
*** Based on public datasheet values for the 1.92TB Micron 5210 SSD ( 70,000 IOPS random reads, 13,000 IOPS random writes) and SNI A PTSe IOPS industry-standard test results on

2.4TB 10k hybrid HDDs (rounded up to 400 IOPS for both random reads and wr ites). Actual performance may vary. Energy efficienc y comparison based on datasheet values for activ e
