Kuai Technology announced on December 20th that Micron has started certifying 6550 ION NVMe SSDs with customers. This is the world's fastest 60TB data center SSD and the industry's first E3. S and PCIe 5.0 60TB SSD. It is reported that this product continues the successful experience of the 6500 ION SSD award, providing industry-leading performance, energy efficiency, durability, security, and rack density, suitable for ultra large scale data centers. The Micron 6550 ION is the industry's first PCIe 5.0 60TB data center SSD, with better read and write bandwidth than similar competitors. At the same time, this product is also the industry's first 60TB SSD that supports OCP 2.5. Due to the adoption of Active State Power Management (ASPM), compared to the 5 watts of power consumption in L0 state, the hard drive only needs 4 watts of power in L1 idle mode, with an energy-saving efficiency of up to 20% when idle. At the same time, the Micron 6550 ION SSD supports three external specifications: U.2, E1. S, and E3. S. As the world's first E3. S 60TB SSD, the Micron 6550 ION SSD has market leading density and can reduce rack storage requirements by up to 67%. In terms of durability, the Micron 6550 ION SSD provides industry-leading durability among 60TB SSDs, with a random daily full disk write durability (RDWPD) of 1.0 and a random write capacity of 16KB, which is 42% higher than similar 60TB SSDs on the market. In addition, the Micron 6550 ION SSD features an industry-leading combination of security features, including SPDM 1.2 certification and SHA-512. Micron 6550 ION SSD is produced simultaneously in multiple manufacturing bases to ensure supply chain resilience, and adopts a vertically integrated architecture that integrates Micron's self-produced DRAM NAND、 Controller and firmware.
