World’s first ultra-fast PCIe 6.0 SSD arrives, but it’s not for you
Micron has unveiled the world's first PCI Express 6.0 SSD, the Micron 9650, designed for AI training and inference workloads in data centers. The drive offers unprecedented read and write speeds, with sequential reads up to 28,000 MB/s and sequential writes up to 14,000 MB/s, significantly outperforming the latest consumer-grade PCI Express 5.0 SSDs. The Micron 9650 SSD is available in both read-intensive (PRO) and write-intensive (MAX) configurations, with capacities ranging from 6.4TB to 30.72TB. However, these high-performance drives are not intended for personal computers, as they are targeted at data center applications. While the introduction of PCI Express 6.0 technology is an exciting milestone, it will likely take some time before it becomes widely adopted in consumer hardware, as chipmakers like Intel and AMD need to implement support for the new standard in their chipsets.
