Micron, a company that describes itself as a world leader in innovative memory solutions, is the first to have developed a PCIe Gen6 data center SSD for ecosystem enablement, one that is said to deliver sequential read bandwidths of over 26 GB/s, according to a press release that Micron shared this week. The 9550, Micron’s current flagship data center SSD, delivers sequential read and write speeds of 14,000 MB/s and 10,000 MB/s, respectively.
Micron writes:
- “At FMS, Micron will demonstrate that it is the first to develop a PCIe Gen6 SSD for ecosystem enablement, once again showcasing its storage technology leadership.”
- “By making this technology — which delivers sequential read bandwidths of over 26GB/s — available to partners, Micron is kickstarting the PCIe Gen6 ecosystem.”
- “This achievement builds on Micron’s recent announcement of the world’s fastest data center SSD, the Micron 9550, and further bolsters Micron’s leadership position in AI storage.”
