Micron officially launched its new line of SSDs for data centers built with 9th generation 3D Nand technology. There are three products designed for high -performance artificial intelligence workloads and the demands of modern data centers.
The big news is the SSD Micron 9650, which becomes The First SSD PCIE GEN6 NVME in the world. And it points out how much companies are investing in the segment, with Nvidia betting on a startup to reduce AI costs by up to 50% and confirming how ugly the error of Intel was.
The SSD 6600 Ion debuts with the Record capacity of 122 tb in an E3.S format. Also presented the SSD 7600, positioned as the most efficient and less latency SSD PCIE Gen5 for conventional workloads.

Fastest SSD in the world
The SSD Micron 9650 offers up to 28 GB/s of sequential reading and 5.5 million IOPs for random readings. It is more than double the performance compared to the competition.
Not without reason, the company discloses it as The fastest SSD in the world.
His performance makes him especially suitable for AI inference and training tasks, where the transfer rate and low latency are critical.
It also offers up to 67% more energy efficiency for readings and 25% more efficiency for recordings compared to Gen5 drives. Micron offers the 9650 in air and liquid -cooled variants, with E3.S and E1.S. formats.

About 6600 and 7600
The SSD 6600 Ion brings unprecedented storage density for data center, with a version of 122 tb arriving later this year and a 245 tb model planned for the beginning of 2026. Both use the same G9 Nand platform to replace large HDD sets and reduce physical space into rack.
SSD 7600, in turn, is optimized for GEN5 systems and offers a balance between performance and energy efficiency. It is focused on common cloud workloads and state -of -the -art implantation.
Micron states that the new devices have already been validated with the main partners of the ecosystem, including Nvidia, Dell, Astera Labs and Broadcom.
SSDs 9650 and 7600 samples are now available to customers, while the 122 TB SSD 6600 ION should be delivered in the third quarter. There is no price information, but they can be comparable to the prices of a RTX 5090. That is, even if they do not reach the value of a car, they should be far from the ordinary user.
