The data storage landscape is evolving faster than ever, driven by growing demands from AI, machine learning, cloud computing, and big data analytics. To keep pace, data centers need storage solutions that deliver significantly higher speeds, better efficiency, and future-ready technology. That’s where PCIe Gen6 SSDs come in.
What Makes PCIe Gen6 Storage a Breakthrough?
PCIe Gen6 technology doubles the bandwidth compared to Gen5 SSDs, enabling data centers to handle massive workloads with reduced bottlenecks. This leap in speed translates to faster data transfers, lower latency, and improved responsiveness for critical applications.
Along with performance, PCIe Gen6 SSDs focus on energy efficiency, lowering power consumption while maintaining top-tier performance. This helps enterprises reduce operational costs and minimize their environmental impact, making it a smart investment for both business and sustainability goals.
Introducing the Micron 9650 PCIe Gen6 SSD
Micron has recently announced the 9650 PCIe Gen6 SSD, the industry’s first data center SSD built on Micron’s advanced 9th-generation NAND technology. Expected to deliver sequential read speeds up to 28 GB/s and up to 5.5 million random read IOPS, the 9650 is designed to meet the intense demands of modern data centers.
Available in flexible E1.S and E3.S form factors and supporting both liquid and air cooling, the Micron 9650 is optimized for AI workloads, inference, and big data analytics. While the product is not yet widely available, initial samples are being tested by select customers, with a broader launch expected later in 2025.
