Micron 9200 Series NVM Express solid-state drives

The 9200 Series of NVM Express (NVMe) solid-state drives (SSDs), from Micron, offer a high capacity exceeding 10 TB, fast speeds and low latency for high-performance functions such as application and database acceleration, online transaction processing (OLTP), high-frequency trading and high-performance computing. The SSDs blend the capabilities of 3D NAND and NVMe technologies for enterprise storage.

The devices are built on an innovative architecture that combines NVMe protocols on a PCIe connection to deliver fast enterprise flash performance up to 10 times faster than SATA SSDs, according to the company, plus 3D NAND high-density storage that conserves power and rack space. The SSDs deliver sequential read/write transfer speeds up to 5.5 and 3.5 GBps, with random read/write transfer speeds up to 900K and 275K input/output operations per second (IOPS) to turn data into information with low latency and high performance.

The Micron 9200 includes three endurance classes: the 9200 PRO is designed for read-centric use at roughly one drive write per day (DWPD) with capacities from 1.9 to 7.6 TB, while the 9200 MAX supports mixed-use workloads at about three DWPD in capacities from 1.6 to 6.4 TB. The 9200 ECO drives offer the highest capacities at 8 or 11 TB and are designed for fewer than one DWPD.
