"The Micron 7500 SSD is a game-changer for data center workloads, delivering blazing-fast performance, exceptional QoS reliability and advanced security unmatched by any other SSD in its class," said Alvaro Toledo, vice president and general manager of Micron's Data Center Storage group. "Thanks to Micron's industry-leading 232-layer NAND technology, we have achieved a breakthrough in latency, enabling response times below 1 ms for 6x9s QoS in mainstream drives. This means our customers can run their data-intensive workloads faster, more efficiently and with more predictability than ever before."
Coming in 960GB, 1.92TB, 3.84TB, 7.68TB, and 15.36TB capacities for the 7500 Pro, and 800GB, 1.6TB, 3.2TB, 6.4TB, and 12.8TB capacities for the Micron 7500 Max drives, the Micron 7500 SSD series is based on U.3/U.2 form-factor with PCIe Gen4 1x4 NVMe interface. The Micron 7500 SSD series comes with some big promises in performance compared to the competition, including:
- Up to 7 GB/s in sequential read and 5.9 GB/s in sequential write performance
- Up to 242% better random write performance than competitive drives
- Up to 97% better sequential write performance than competitive drives
- Up to 13% better random read performance than competitive drives
- Up to 83% lower random read latency than competitive drives in 100% read workloads
- Up to 82% lower random mixed I/O latency than competitive drives in 70% read / 30 % write workloads
The Micron 7500 SSD series supports Open Compute Project (OCP) SSD 2.0 specification, as well as brings Self-encrypting drive (SED) options with AES-256 hardware-based data encryption, running at line rate, SHA-512 and RSA to keep data safe, Secure Encrypted Environment (SEE) to provide dedicated security processing hardware with physical isolation for improved security, SPDM 1.2 attestation verifies device identity and firmware integrity to validate trust in the SSD from manufacturing through deployment, and Options for FIPS 140-3 Level 2 and TAA compliance to meet U.S. federal government procurement requirements, something that is very important in the data center market.
The Micron 7500 SSD series is now available through select OEMs and channel partners.
