Micron 9650 SSD are the first solid state units that will reach the market with the PCIE 6.0 interface. As planned, they are destined to cover the High storage performance needs in data centers.
PCI Express is a fundamental standard in modern computers. A local entrance/output bus that is used for the internal connections of the integrated circuits of the motherboards (chipsets), communication with the CPU and also to install as important components such as graphics cards, network or sound cards, and also in solid state units, faster storage units.
Micron SSD 9650
Although the current generation, SSD Gen5, is still in a global deployment phase, The technological advance does not ceaseespecially in the business field of the HPC and the AI systems that need greater performance in storage and networks. And there the launch of the micron units is framed as Jeremy Werner, senior vice president and general manager of the Micron Data Centers Business: Micron Data Centers:
«With the first PCIE Gen6 SSD of the industry, leading capacities in the industry and the conventional SSD with the lowest latency, all enhanced by our Nand G9, the first in the market, Micron not only marks the rhythm; We are redefining the border of innovation in data centers ».
Micron distributes the series in different versions that take advantage of the interface potential, with data transfer speeds up to 28 GB/s of sequential reading (twice the speed that the PCIE 5.0 SSDs) and up to 14 GB/s of sequential writing. Random mode performance is also very high: up to 5.5 MIOPS in reading and 900 kiops in writing. According to Micron, SSD 9650 not only offers the best performance in the sector, but also offers up to 25 % more efficiency in random deeds and up to 67 % more efficiency in random readings.
Micron is already sending the units to selected customers, in different formats (E3.s, U.2 and E1.s) and with storage capabilities to meet all business needs. The launch contemplates versions of 122 Tbyteswith 245 TB units planned by 2026. With assembly in 2U servers these systems may reach a yield of up to 4.42 pbytes.
