3 is a new interface standard for 2.5” NVME SSDs that is an advancement of U. 2, which has been in use for some time. The key advantage is that the disc backplane inside the server chassis features USED for Mixed Use in Data Centres.
Data center-class solid-state storage designed with a cost-performance-durability balance for write and read mixed applications such as media streaming, data warehousing, and web servers.
The Global Data Center U.3 SSD market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Micron introduces a new faster U.3 datacenter SSD. Micron has introduced a 9400 datacenter NVMe SSD with a maximum capacity of 30.7TB and a PCIe gen 4 interface.
Just over nine months after launching its 7450 datacenter SSD with PCIe gen 4 and 176-layer 3D NAND, Micron has used the same TLC NAND and interface to build the 9400 with double the maximum capacity, 60% more random read IOPS, slightly more sequential read and significantly more sequential write bandwidth.
A statement from Micron’s datacenter storage VP and GM High performance, capacity, and low latency are essential attributes for organisations looking to maximise their investments in AI/ML and supercomputing systems.”
The 9400 has a latency of 69s read and 10s write, according to Micron. For comparison, the latency of the 7450 is as low as 80s read and 15s write, while the 9400 is more responsive.
“The 9400 is aligned to the NVMe performance market, which is currently focused on U.3, particularly for high capacities over 30TB like the 9400 SSD,” said Micron.
Our 7450 SSD is a mainstream data centre SSD with one of the industry’s most versatile form factor solutions for all major platform functions, including boot and main data storage. Because the 9400 and 7450 use the identical NAND, they realise that the increased speed is due to better parallelism inside the controller and drive.
