Micron launched three enterprise storage drives that advance data center performance through G9 NAND technology. The 9650 represents the first PCIe 6.0 solid-state drive available commercially, delivering sequential read speeds reaching 28 gigabytes per second. This flagship model achieves write speeds of 14 gigabytes per second while consuming 25 percent less power during random operations. Random read efficiency improves by 67 percent compared to previous-generation devices. The drive targets high-performance server applications requiring maximum throughput.
The 6600 ION provides unprecedented storage density at 122 terabytes within the compact E3.S form factor. Single rack units accommodate 2.4 petabytes when fully populated with these drives. Energy consumption drops to one watt per 4.9 terabytes of capacity, creating 37 percent better efficiency than traditional hard disk configurations. The 7600 model delivers sub-millisecond latency for artificial intelligence workloads and mixed enterprise applications. Customers receive the 9650 and 7600 models immediately, while 6600 ION availability begins during the third quarter.
