Micron and Astera Labs have exhibited at the Desigcon Fair 2025 the most rapid business PCIE 6 Business on the planet, reaching sequential speeds of 27 Gbytes per second.
The SSD Gen5 are still landing in the consumer, micron market and the rest of the memories manufacturers, but the development of the technology industry does not cease especially in the Business scope of the HPC and the AI that needs greater performance in storage and networks.
Towards the segment of servers and data centers, the new PCIE 6 MICRON SSD is directed that has been exhibited in the stand that Asera Labs had at the Desigcon 2025, a high -performance chip design conference that has been held in California.
The specialized firm connected a P-Series SCORPIO network switch with a professional NVIDIA H100 graph to two of the solid micron state units. The result was of sequential data transfer in reading mode of 27.14 GB/s. To put it in context, the maximum that reaches the current Gen5 is just over half: 14 GB/s.
The Astera Man Fabric Switch Switch Red Switch is the first of the industry capable of connecting until 64 PCIE 6.0 lines. The switch is designed to allow the fastest possible communication between the CPU, the GPU and the storage nodes in clusters that are used in high performance computing (HPC) and everything necessary to feed the insatiable artificial intelligence models.
The hardware was combined with the help of the Magnum IO GPU Direct (GDS) of NVIDIA. This solution provides a direct route for access to memory, which provides storage devices for a faster line towards the GPU memory without going through the buffer of the CPU and without adding latency.
No availability date of the micron SSD is known. It will depend on the final launch of PCI Express 6, the Next version of the local entrance/exit bus most important in the industry, since it 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 as graphics cards or solid state units that we have seen in this article.
