Product Launch: Micron 9550 NVMe® SSD

The Micron® 9550 SSD leads the pack of data center PCIe Gen5 SSDs for AI-critical workloads. The secret to success in the AI race is training AI models faster. The difference between winning and losing can be measured in microseconds. For Graph Neural Network (GNN) training, the Micron 9550 offers up to 60% faster performance and 43% less energy than the competition. When combined with form factor (U.2 and E3.S) and capacity (3.2 to 30.72TB3) flexibility, users can tailor their system architecture to best meet their growing AI needs. These gains in performance and efficiency would not be possible without a fully vertically integrated solution, leveraging Micron-designed controller ASIC, 8th-generation NAND, and DRAM.
