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)

1. Sequential write statements are based on 128KB 100% sequential write workload.

2. Random IOPS statements based on 4KB, 100% random workloads.

3. 61.44TB capacity is the largest option. User capacity: 1GB = 1 billion bytes; formatted capacity is less.

4. The Micron 6550 ION offers a capacity of up to 61.44TB. Comparisons are made with other 61.44TB NVMe SSDs from Samsung, Solidigm, and Western Digital. These comparisons use publicly available competitor information from public sources at the time of the 6550 ION announcement, with the 6550 ION and Western Digital using a maximum power of 20W and Solidigm and Samsung at 25W, resulting in up to 20% less maximum power consumption for the 6550 ION.

5. Warranty valid for 5 years from the original date of purchase or before writing the maximum total bytes written (TBW) as published in the product datasheet and as measured in the product’s SMART data, whichever comes first.

6. Additional information available here: www.micron.com/232

7. Actual endurance my vary by workload.
