Micron Ships PCIe 6.0 Datacenter SSDs

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.
Scoring Rationale
High novelty and direct datacenter applicability, limited by immediate consumer adoption until PCIe 6.0 hosts arrive.
