Micron has announced the new 9550 NVMe SSD ready to uplift data centers worldwide with its substantial improvements and next-gen level efficiency.
The drive delivers top-tier performance with 14GBps sequential reads and 10GBps sequential writes, making it approximately 67% faster than its competitors. With 3,300K/400K IOPS for random reads and writes, it is highly effective for demanding applications like AI workloads, including LLMs and GNNs.
For GNNs, the 9550 SSD achieves up to 33% faster workload completion and 60% quicker feature aggregation in GNN training with BaM (Accelerator Memory). It also offers up to 34% higher throughput for NVIDIA Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage. In terms of power efficiency, the drive showcases impressive gains:
Up to 43% lower average SSD power usage and a 29% reduction in overall system energy consumption during GNN training with BaM
Up to 81% less SSD energy per terabyte transferred with NVIDIA Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage
Up to 35% lower SSD energy usage and 13% lower system energy consumption with MLPerf
Up to 21% lower SSD energy usage during Llama LLM fine-tuning with Microsoft DeepSpeed
Supporting the NVMe 2.0 protocol, the drive is also available in OCP 2.0/2.5 standards, offering greater flexibility and ease for large-scale deployments. It includes robust security features like Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology, full compliance with Security Protocols and Data Models (SPDM 1.2), and optional FIPS 140-3 Level 2 and TAA compliance.
Micron will offer the 9550 SSD in capacities ranging from 3.2TB to 30.72TB, available in U.2, E1.S, and E3.S form factors. The drive is currently in the sampling phase globally, with availability for quotations and purchases coming soon.
