Micron has announced a PCIe Gen5 G9 QLC SSD designed for client computing. 

The 3610 NVMe SSD, built based on Micron's G9 NAND, achieves a maximum continuous read speed of 11,000 MB/s and a continuous write speed of 9,300 MB/s. 

It offers a 4TB single-sided M.2 2230 model, suitable for ultra-thin laptops and devices with AI capabilities. 

It offers 1.5 million IOPS for random reads and 1.6 million IOPS for random writes. 

It adopts an architecture without DRAM, uses the host memory buffer (HMB) and DEVSLP low-power state. It claims that compared with the fourth-generation TLC, its performance per watt has increased by 43%. 

It can load an AI model with 20 billion parameters within three seconds, achieving real-time AI insights and providing a high-end experience on mainstream client devices. 

It claims that in the PCMark 10 test, it has achieved a maximum score improvement of up to 30% and a bandwidth increase of 28% compared to the fourth-generation QLC SSD, making it highly suitable for various industry workloads. 

The host-controlled thermal management provides OEM manufacturers with precise control over the thermal thresholds, enabling continuous performance in ultra-thin fanless designs. 

It incorporates the latest advanced security features, such as Data Object Exchange (DOE) and Device Identifier Combiner Engine (DICE), which help enhance the protection of user data. 

Micron 3610 SSD is now being tested with some OEM partners and will be available in various forms, with capacities ranging from 1TB to 4TB.
