Micron announces Micron 7500 NVMe SSD

Micron Technology announced the Micron 7500 NVMe SSD for data center workloads. The 7500 SSD is the world’s only mainstream data center SSD to feature 200+ layer NAND, utilizing Micron’s 232-layer NAND and enabling up to 242% better random write performance than competitive drives.1 The SSD also delivers sub-1 millisecond latency for 6x9s quality-of-service in mainstream drives, creating a new class of SSDs perfectly suited to deliver the consistency required in the cloud. The Micron 7500 SSD is designed to meet the demands of storage-intensive data center workloads, such as artificial intelligence, databases, content delivery, real-time analytics, social media platforms, cloud computing and virtualization. Its remarkable QoS and performance provide rapid, reliable responsiveness for these demanding workloads. For example, the drive improves RocksDB performance by up to 2.1 times versus competitive SSDs.
