Enterprise NVMe SSD for data centres

The Micron 6500 ION is a 30.72TB enterprise SSD built for read-intensive workloads in servers and storage arrays. It uses a 2.5 inch U.3 form factor with a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface and 3D NAND TLC flash. Hardware-based encryption with SHA-512 and TCG Opal 2.01 protects data at rest.

Suits read-heavy server workloads.

This drive targets applications such as content delivery, analytics and warm storage where sequential reads reach 6800 MBps and random reads hit 1,000,000 IOPS. Write endurance is lower at 200,000 random write IOPS and 5000 MBps sequential, so it is not suited for write-intensive databases, logging or primary boot volumes.

30.72TB capacity in a 15mm U.3 bay

The single specification that decides fit is the 30.72TB capacity delivered in a 15mm high 2.5 inch U.3 package. Systems must provide a U.3 backplane with PCIe 4.0 x4 electricals and physical clearance for the 15mm z-height; otherwise the drive cannot be installed or will fall back to slower speeds.

Highlights

  • 72TB capacity supports massive datasets in a single drive
  • PCIe 4.0 x4 interface delivers up to 6800 MBps sequential read speeds
  • Self-encrypting drive with TCG Opal 2.01 protects data at rest
  • 2 million hour MTBF ensures reliability for continuous enterprise workloads
  • 5 inch U.3 form factor fits standard server bays with 15mm height

Questions about this item

Will the U.3 PCIe 4.0 x4 connector on this Micron 6500 ION work in my existing U.2 backplane?

Yes, the U.3 interface is electrically compatible with U.2 backplanes, so the 2.5-inch 15 mm drive will seat and operate without an adapter.

How can I verify the Self-Encrypting Drive with TCG Opal 2.01 is active after installation?

Use a TCG Opal management tool such as sedutil-cli or the vendor utility to query the drive; it will report the encryption state and confirm the SHA-512 engine is engaged.

Does the box include a heatsink or mounting bracket for the 2.5-inch U.3 form factor?

The drive ships as a bare 15 mm 2.5-inch U.3 module; any heatsink, carrier or bracket required by your server chassis must be sourced separately.
