Micron launches the 9300 series NVMe SSDs, with high speeds, extreme endurance and capacities up to 15.36TB (also: how to vaporize your wallet).

People might not like the word 'futureproof', but this is definitely very futureproof.

Micron has released their 9300 series, which is a fast SSD, with very high endurance (close to matching Optane drives) and amazing capacities up to 16TB. For comparison, the previous highest consumer SSD was 4TB of capacity and it was SATA (Samsung's 860 series), and the highest HDD size available today is 14TB. This drive is geared towards the enterprise market, but it could get on store shelves.

Today Micron Technology, Inc. announced an expansion of its enterprise NVMe SSDs with the addition of the 9300 series. The new drives come in a performance and endurance model with capacities ranging from 3.2TB to 15.36TB in a U.2 form factor. The new series is aimed at AI/ML, OLTOP, NoSQL databases, Large Object, Small Random Block, and Big Data.

Well the Read/Write speeds isn't staggering since there's plenty of 3GB/s+ Sequential SSDs in the market already.

well Intel and Samsung have those light saber length SSDs with that capacity before already. Now if this thing hits retail it will be really impressive though dont see many buying it

Samsung PM1633a is 16TB and this was 2016.

Sorry, I'm stupid and don't know enterprise SSDs lol

If we look at it as cycle life, it is still some way behind Optane. Looking at my 900p as example, the effective rated cycle life is about 18k times, compared to approx. 2.2k/5.8k cycles for Pro and Max versions respectively. Of course, in part due to their massive capacity, the bytes written endurance is still massive.

I was talking about DWPD, in which it's pretty close

For same rated warranty duration (both are 5 years) then DWPD is proportional to cycle life, and the different I mentioned remains.

 

Wonder how their Max differs from Pro, is it better flash grade, or do they just overprovision more?

Wrong, Micron had the "5200 ECO" series available as a SATA drive in 7.68TB size:

I thought it was something different.... when you claim it vaporize intel's optane, the title is so misleading to me. that 15.36TB sounds nice but I am sure pretty much everyone is heading in that direction currently.

I meant about the endurance (using DWPD) and speed, mostly. I honestly have no idea about 4K speeds. It is pretty misleading though, i'll edit that out

small correction this drive's latency is in  micro seconds not nano

[techforpc]

NVMe SSDs works perfect, I have tested it.

It's kind of weird to think that we're standing here gawking at 15TB the same way we used to gawk at 15GB drives. Elder Scrolls 9 is gonna need twice that space.

[Doobeedoo]

Great drive, awesome random read IOPS for it. 

[Guest]

Great speeds, but for the latency the article specifies micro seconds.
