Micron Releases 9650 NVMe Gen6 SSD
9.1
Micron has begun mass production of the 9650 NVMe SSD, the first data-center drive built on the PCIe Gen6 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0. The dual PRO and MAX models deliver up to 28,000 MB/s sequential reads and 14,000 MB/s writes, with capacities up to 30.72 TB and endurance options up to 3 DWPD. The drives improve throughput-per-watt and target AI-focused data centers.
Key Points
- 1Ships as first PCIe Gen6 data-center SSD, delivering up to 28,000MB/s reads and 14,000MB/s writes
- 2Doubles Gen5 bandwidth, enabling higher peer-to-peer accelerator-storage transfers and reduced CPU mediation
- 3Allows data centers to increase throughput per watt, easing energy constraints on AI workloads
Scoring Rationale
High novelty and wide data-center relevance, limited independent verification of performance claims from a single vendor.
