Micron 6500 ION 30.7TB U.3 2.5" NVMe SSD
30.7TB Micron 6500 ION U.3 NVMe SSD, 2.5" 15mm, PCIe 4.0x4/U.3, 6800MB/s Read, 5000MB/s Write, 1000k/200k IOPS
QLC value. TLC performance. Micron innovation.
The world’s first mainstream data centre SSD with 200+ layer NAND , engineered to evolve date centre economics. Designed to keep pace with the accelerating growth of data, the Micron 6500 ION provides a major advancement for data centres by lowering operating costs and improving storage efficiency. A high-capacity SSD that offers a superior value over competing QLC based drives, the Micron 6500 ION provides best-in-class performance and enables a more environmentally sustainable data centre. This drive helps to reduce upfront purchase costs by coming in at a comparable price point to competing QLC SSDs and lowers annual operating expenses by reducing power/cooling needs and server/software license costs through chassis consolidation. It also reduces e-waste by delivering storage that lasts longer — all while outperforming and outlasting the competing QLC SSDs and saturating 400 GbE networks with ease. For data centres that need to affordably scale storage density, the Micron 6500 ION is the answer.
Delivering Top Performance
The Micron 6500 ION offers better overall performance than other 30.72TB competitor’s QLC SSDs with 34% better read latency, 58% faster sequential writes, up to 62% more 4KB random read IOPS and over 30X more 4KB random write IOPS. This innovative SSD makes it easier to store and maintain the massive datasets that are typical in object stores, general purpose bulk cloud storage, all-flash arrays, capacity tiers, NoSQL databases, content delivery, and AI/ML data lakes.
A More Sustainable Data Centre
The Micron 6500 ION helps lower operating costs relative to its competitor’s QLC SSDs due to its 20% lower active power consumption, 56% better power efficiency (IOPS per Watt) and improved drive life enabled by its more than 10X better random write endurance. Its industry-leading storage density enables nearly 1-petabyte per rack unit (RU) and up to 35 PB per rack to reduce data centre floor space and carbon footprint.
Eclipses QLC with Superior Value
The Micron 6500 ION is the world’s first 200+ layer NAND data centre NVMe SSD. With superior NAND to the competition’s sub-200-layer QLC SSDs, it provides better endurance, performance, security and energy efficiency to deliver a better value without the compromises that QLC SSD customers have experienced in the past.
