Power Consumption - Micron M600 (128GB, 256GB & 1TB) SSD Review

Publish date: 2024-05-02

Power Consumption

The M600 brings a fairly significant reduction in slumber power consumption compared to the MX100. I believe OEMs are more demanding on power requirements because the majority of SSDs will be shipped in mobile systems. While SSD power consumption only plays a small part in total power consumption, it is still important to save power on every aspect where possible to maximize battery life.

Load power consumption is also good and it seems that the Dynamic Write Acceleration helps a bit here. Writing to pseudo-SLC NAND is more efficient because less iterations and verifications cycles are needed compared to MLC or TLC, which brings the power consumption down during write operations.
