About Hardware Micron 2210 MTFDHBA512QFD
The Micron 2210 MTFDHBA512QFD is a 512GB capacity NVMe SSD that uses the PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface and utilizes QLC NAND flash, designed to provide the ideal combination of large capacity and affordability compared to TLC-based SSDs. One of the key components of this SSD's performance is the use of the Silicon Motion SM2263ENG controller, which is known for efficiently managing the high performance and low power consumption of QLC-based NVMe SSDs.
With this controller, the Micron 2210 is able to maximize the potential of QLC NAND while maintaining operational stability and efficiency. In tests using CrystalDiskMark, the SSD recorded speeds of up to 2242.12 MB/s read and 1148.16 MB/s write, while in AS-SSD Benchmark, the results were 1891.69 MB/s read and 629.64 MB/s write. This performance is perfectly sufficient for multitasking, fast system booting, and large file processing.
Testing was conducted on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 device, with a 12GB DDR4 3200MHz Dual Channel (8+4) RAM configuration and running Windows 10 and Windows 11 22H2 operating systems. These test platforms are representative of modern systems that are compatible with the high performance these SSDs offer.
With its M.2 2280 form factor and support for technologies such as TRIM, S.M.A.R.T. and LDPC ECC, the Micron 2210 512GB is suitable for laptop and desktop users who want fast and efficient storage with sufficient endurance for daily workloads and light-medium productivity.
