Micron 6550 ION 30.72TB E1.L 9.5mm OCP 2.5 SED

SKU CH-NMC6-N1NF5

Enterprise SSD delivering 30.72 TB in a 9.5 mm E1.L form factor with 14,000 MB/s sequential read and 2,000,000 random read IOPS

  • 72 TB capacity supports massive data sets
  • 14,000 MB/s sequential read accelerates large-file workflows
  • 7,000 MB/s sequential write speeds sustained ingest
  • 2,000,000 random read IOPS handles intense multi-user loads
  • TCG Opal SED protects data at rest

Enterprise NVMe SSD for high-density servers

The Micron 6550 ION delivers 30.72TB of storage in an E1.L 9.5mm form factor built for OCP 2.5 platforms. Sequential read reaches 14000 MB/s and sequential write reaches 7000 MB/s at QD128. Random read hits 2000000 IOPS at QD512 while random write reaches 70000 IOPS at QD128. Typical read latency is 70 µs at QD1.

Verify E1.L 9.5mm bay and OCP 2.5 backplane support

Confirm your chassis provides an E1.L slot with 9.5mm clearance and an OCP 2.5 compliant connector. The drive uses 512-byte sector formatting and requires NVMe protocol support from the host controller. Systems limited to 2.5-inch U.2 or M.2 form factors cannot accommodate this module.

TCG Opal SED with robust enterprise construction

Hardware-based encryption follows the TCG Opal standard for data-at-rest protection without host software overhead. The E1.L ruler design enables tool-less installation in compatible hot-plug cages. Rated for sustained enterprise workloads, the drive maintains consistent throughput under heavy mixed read-write patterns.

Questions about this item

Does the Micron 6550 ION 30.72TB E1.L SSD include a heatsink or mounting hardware, or must those be purchased separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare E1.L 9.5 mm module. Any carrier, heatsink or retention bracket required by your server chassis must be sourced separately.

Which capacity and security variant of the Micron 6550 ION E1.L line should I select for a 30.72 TB encrypted deployment?

This specific model provides 30.72 TB with TCG Opal SED encryption and a 512-byte sector size; no other capacity or security option exists for this part number.

What do the 14,000 MB/s sequential read and 2,000,000 IOPS random read figures mean for real-world database workloads?

Those peak numbers are measured at high queue depths (QD128 and QD512). At typical low queue depths latency is around 70 µs, so sustained database throughput will be lower than the headline rates.
