Micron Ships PCIe 6.0 Datacenter SSDs
9.2
Micron has begun mass production of the 9650 PCIe 6.0 SSD, claiming up to 28 GB/s sequential reads and 14 GB/s writes, with capacities from 7.68 TB to 30.72 TB and E1.S/E3.S air and liquid-cooled forms. The 18 W drives target datacenter AI storage arrays and promise twice the read performance per watt versus PCIe 5.0, but require PCIe 6.0 host platforms arriving later this year.
Key Points
- 1Launches Micron 9650 PCIe 6.0 SSDs with up to 28 GB/s sequential read throughput.
- 2Targets datacenter workloads, offering 7.68–30.72 TB capacities in air and liquid-cooled form factors.
- 3Requires forthcoming PCIe 6.0 CPU/platform support, limiting immediate adoption in consumer desktops.
Scoring Rationale
High novelty and direct datacenter applicability, limited by immediate consumer adoption until PCIe 6.0 hosts arrive.
