Micron P420m PCIe SSD ®
PCIe Performance at Your Fingertips The P420m solid state drive (SSD) uses Micron’s cost-effective 25nm multilevel cell (MLC) NAND to deliver enterprise-class PCIe performance at a price accessible to the mainstream market. The P420m provides the same great performance that you’ve come to expect from Micron’s PCIe SSDs. And thanks to our MLC NAND technology, the P420m SSD is offered at a more accessible price point with higher capacities and extended performance and enhanced reliability technology (XPERT) features like advanced data path protection. (See the Micron XPERT technical brief for more information.)

Why Micron for SSDs?
Ideal Applications
• Worldwide NAND Flash leadership – Micron SSD customers have the assurance of working with the world’s leader in NAND Flash design. Our expertise in NAND technology sets us apart as a vertically integrated supplier with the unique ability to ensure end-to-end quality and to optimize our SSDs for our NAND components.
Caching
• Extensive testing – Our rigorous product testing translates to predictably reliable, high-quality drives. • Proven start-to-finish quality – From component design to fabrication to the finished package device, our stringent quality requirements, significant investments in SSD test equipment, and advanced NAND management algorithms mean that reliability is literally built into every drive.
The P420m is a “cache master.” It provides faster throughput and serves up high-demand data in a flash.
Cloud and Data Center
The P420m provides low latency, high IOPS, and easy access to frequently used data—all critical for highfunctioning cloud and data centers.
Blade Servers
The highly reliable, high-performance, low-power, MLC-based P420m SSD enables blade servers to deliver on their promise of saving space and minimizing power consumption.
Enterprise Servers
With advanced features like data path protection, RAIN technology, and power backup, the P420m is a perfect solution for enterprise server demands. Its high IOPS capability, low latency, and ability to withstand high temperatures also make the P420m ideal for enterprise servers.
Online Transaction Processing
The P420m moves data quickly and reliably, enabling consistent online transaction processing critical to numerous businesses today. An Easy Hot Swap: The P420m 2.5-inch form factor can be easily
inserted/removed from the front of a server without removing the server from the rack or turning off power. This dramatically improves serviceability and lowers total cost of ownership.
Media Streaming
The P420m is ideal for loading the hottest media content once or twice a day for fast streaming. It meets the performance demands of video-on-demand and other media-streaming servers and storage.
Web Acceleration
The P420m enables Web 2.0 companies to accelerate web searches. Using MLC NAND, the P420m can capably deliver the hottest, most-searched content while keeping acquisition costs low. Part
