The world’s first data center NVMe SSD with over 200 NAND layers is engineered to evolve data center economics.
Designed to keep pace with the accelerating growth of data, the Micron 6500 ION SSD provides a major advancement for data centers by lowering operating costs and improving storage efficiency. The Micron 6500 ION is a high-capacity SSD that offers a superior value over the competing QLCbased drive by providing best-in-class performance and enabling a more environmentally sustainable data center.
The Micron 6500 ION reduces upfront purchase costs by coming in at a comparable price point to the competing QLC SSD2 and lowers annual operating expenses by reducing power/cooling 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 SSD and saturating 400 GbE networks with ease.
For data centers that need to affordably scale storage density, the Micron 6500 ION is the answer.
Faster reads, writes, fills, and rebuilds than the competing data center QLC SSD makes it easier to store and maintain massive datasets.
34% better average read latency
58% faster sequential writes
Up to 62% more 4KB random read IOPS
Over 30X more 4KB random write IOPS at a queue depth (QD) of 128 and over 10X more at QD1
Ideal for artificial intelligence data lakes, object stores, general purpose bulk cloud storage, NoSQL databases, and content delivery
