The leading memory and storage manufacturer, Micron, has today launched its most powerful storage solution for data centers: ION 6550 SSD. It is a PCI-E Gen 5.0 SSD, that brings 60 TB storage space for high storage demands and delivers exceptional read/write speed and efficiency.
The ION 6550 is built using the E3.S form factor, making it the only data center SSD to reach 60 TB of storage capacity. This is achieved while increasing the power efficiency and sequential read/write speeds to achieve high performance while consuming less power. The ION 6550 succeeds the ION 6500 SSD and brings several improvements to ensure users get their demands fulfilled with up to 179% faster sequential read speed.
As per Micron’s PR, the ION 6550 can also deliver up to 179% higher read bandwidth per watt than 6500, 150% faster sequential write speed, 213% higher write bandwidth per watt, 80% faster random readers, and 99% higher read IOPS per watt.
