Micron 7450 Pro 7 68 Tb Solid State Drive E1 S Edsff Internal Pci Express Nvme 4 0 X4 Read Intensive Taa Compliant 7680Gb 15Mm Ssd

The Micron 7450 Pro 7.68 TB EDSFF SSD is engineered for data centers where density, reliability, and predictable performance are non-negotiable. Housed in the compact EDSFF E1.S form factor with a 15 mm profile, this drive delivers enterprise-grade capacity in a footprint that fits tightly into dense server chassis, blades, and modular backplanes. Designed for hyperscale deployments and cloud-scale infrastructures, it balances a read-intensive workload profile with robust endurance and data integrity, ensuring consistent service levels as workloads evolve. The PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface accelerates data movement between host and storage, reducing bottlenecks during analytics, streaming, and large-scale data access. With end-to-end data protection, firmware stability, and TAA compliance, the Micron 7450 Pro is built to maximize rack density while minimizing maintenance windows and drive refresh cycles. In practice, this translates to tangible benefits: faster analytics pipelines, lower total cost of ownership, and a storage backbone that scales with your business without sacrificing reliability or manageability.

• Dense capacity in a compact form factor: 7.68 TB of raw storage in the EDSFF E1.S footprint enables higher rack density, reducing the number of drives per rack and streamlining cabling, power, and cooling in large-scale deployments.
• Read-intensive performance optimized for analytics: A read-focused profile paired with PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe delivers rapid data access for data lakes, real-time analytics, BI workloads, streaming pipelines, and virtualization hubs, helping you meet stringent latency targets.
• Enterprise-grade reliability and endurance: Built for sustained service levels with robust data integrity features, end-to-end protection, and a firmware trajectory designed to minimize maintenance windows and unexpected downtime.
• High-density, modern data center readiness: EDSFF E1.S 15 mm drives are designed to slot into dense server backplanes and blade configurations, enabling scalable storage pools while preserving predictability in performance and capacity.
• Seamless integration and enterprise support:
TAA-compliant and backed by Micron's enterprise-grade support, the 7450 Pro integrates with standard data-center management tools and firmware update workflows to keep your storage fabric healthy.

how to install Micron 7450 Pro 7.68 TB SSD

• Power down the server or storage appliance and disconnect it from power, following all safety procedures for your data center.
• Verify that your server, blade, or backplane supports EDSFF E1.S drives and that you have the correct drive sled or mounting mechanism for the enclosure.
• Open the chassis or backplane access panel and identify an available EDSFF slot compatible with E1.S form factors; remove any filler or placeholder if present.
• Carefully align the Micron 7450 Pro with the slot’s connectors and slide it into place until the backplane seats the drive firmly; secure the drive with the chassis mounting hardware or sled as required by the enclosure.
• Reconnect any data cables or backplane connections and power, then power on the system. Enter BIOS/UEFI to confirm the drive is detected and recognized by the storage controller.
• Update the drive firmware if a newer version is available and verify that the NVMe controller and storage stack are current.
• Boot into the host operating system and initialize the new NVMe device according to your policy (partitioning, formatting, and mounting as appropriate for your environment); integrate with your storage management tools and monitoring systems.
• Run baseline diagnostics and performance tests to validate read throughput, latency, and endurance under expected workloads; monitor thermals to ensure the drive operates within safe limits.
