Why choose 6550 NVMe SSD?
Accelerate exascale AI workloads
Best-in-class 60TB read and write bandwidth delivers faster data collection, loading, pre-processing, checkpointing, ingesting, and more for better networked artificial intelligence (AI) data lake performance
Outperform the 60TB competition
The Micron 6550 ION needs just 20W to achieve its rated performance versus competing 60TB QLC SSDs, which need to run at 25W to achieve rated performance1
Power sustainable data centers
Better performance with lower power consumption can help reduce power and cooling requirements and carbon footprint through server footprint reduction (which can also decrease license costs)
