Micron 6500 ION with NVMe SSD
The world’s first 200+ layer data centre SSD
Ideal for maximising IT budgets, the Micron 6500 ION SSD redefines scalable storage for the data centre, cloud and hosting industry. Engineered to evolve data centre economics, this revolutionary SSD from Micron helps mitigate security concerns and increase performance expectations. There is no doubt it addresses all of the issues the data centre may fear in head-on fashion with its best-in-class performance that promotes a sustainable outlook and goes further than the QLC SSD of today with its superior value.
The Micron 6500 ION SSD helps reduce upfront purchase costs, operating expenses by reducing power/cooling, and server/software license costs through chassis consolidation. Its 30.72TB capacity and dense form factors will facilitate opportunities to lower your carbon footprint through the consolidation of more storage in fewer servers — all while outperforming and outlasting the competitor’s QLC SSD.

6500 Benefits
Best of breed performance
The Micron 6500 ION SSD offers better overall performance than the 30.72TB competitor’s QLC SSD — with 34% better read latency, 58% faster sequential writes, up to 62% more 4KB random read IOPS and over 30 times more 4KB random write IOPS. This innovative SSD makes it easier to store and maintain the massive datasets that are typical in object stores, general purpose bulk cloud storage, all-flash arrays, capacity tiers, NoSQL databases, content delivery, and AI/ML data lakes.
A sustainable data centre
The Micron 6500 ION helps lower operating costs relative to its competitor’s QLC SSD due to its 20% lower active power consumption, 56% better power efficiency (IOPS/Watt), and improved drive life enabled by its more than 10 times better random write endurance.6 Its industry-leading storage density enables nearly 1-petabyte per rack unit (RU) and up to 35 PB per rack to reduce data center floor space and carbon footprint.
Superior value over QLC
The Micron 6500 ION is the world’s first 200+ layer NAND data center NVMe SSD. With superior NAND to the competition’s sub-200-layer QLC SSD, it provides better endurance, performance, security and energy efficiency to deliver a superior value without the compromises that QLC SSD customers experienced in the past.
