2 Competitive 61.44TB SSDs per footnote 1 are built with NAND that is the industry’s 7th generation or earlier, per publicly available sources at the time of the 6550 ION announcement.
3 Based on public information available at the time of this document’s publication. Sequential performance based on a 128KB transfer size and a queue depth of 128. Competitive read and write bandwidth per watt calculated using published sequential bandwidth rating at maximum power consumption values. Random read performance based on a 4KB transfer size.
4 Tests conducted by Micron engineering using a maximum power limit of 20W for the Micron 6550 ION and 25W for the competitive drive. 147% higher performance observed using a 4KB transfer size and 256 GDSIO workers. Energy efficiency based on measured performance and measured SSD power consumption.
5 Tests conducted by Micron engineering using a maximum power limit of 20W for the Micron 6550 ION and 25W for the Solidigm D5-P5336. Performance and power efficiency results using the Unet3D benchmark with three simulated H100 accelerators and measured SSD power consumption during 4KB transfer size.
6 Tests conducted by Micron engineering using a maximum power limit of 20W for the Micron 6550 ION and 25W for the Solidigm D5-P5336. DLIO checkpoint workload modeled on Llama3 405B parameter LLM. Model representing an 8 GPU server. Checkpoint size is 415GB.
7 Calculated based on 100%, 128KB sequential write performance based on public documents available at the time of this publication.
8 System comparison using 20 slot SSD E3.S server in 1U vs. 24 slot U.2 server in 2U. No competitor currently offers a 61.44TB capacity SSD in E3.S form factor per published specifications at the time of this announcement.
9 Using Micron 61.44TB E3.S drives with 20 SSDs per U.
10 Rack storage capacity assumes 36 rack units are available for server/storage systems.
11 Based on information on Anand Tech site at https://www.anandtech.com/show/21526/samsungs-128-tbclass-bm1743-enterprise-ssd-displayed-at-fms-2024 and assumes other 122.88TB drives will have similar performance metrics.
12 No hardware, software or system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Micron assumes no liability for lost, stolen or corrupted data arising from the use of any Micron products, including those products that incorporate any of the mentioned security features.
