Micron 9200 PRO 1.92 TB NVMe U.2 2.5" PCIe 3.0 x4 Mixed Use SSD

Meet the Micron 9200 PRO 1.92 TB NVMe solid state drive, a purpose-built solution for modern data centers that demand speed, reliability, and efficiency. This 2.5-inch internal drive uses a U.2 interface and PCIe Gen3 x4 to deliver consistently high performance across a wide range of mixed-use workloads—from online transaction processing (OLTP) and virtualized environments to real-time analytics and AI-powered caching. With 1.92 terabytes of storage capacity, it offers a compelling balance between density and cost, making it an ideal choice for expanding capacity in dense server racks, upgrading legacy storage fleets, or building resilient, scalable storage architectures. The Micron 9200 PRO is engineered to maintain low latency under bursty workloads, helping applications stay responsive during peak periods and ensuring service-level objectives are met. In short, this drive blends enterprise-grade endurance, advanced data protection, and flexible performance optimization to empower IT teams to do more with less downtime and fewer migrations.

• Blazing performance for mixed workloads: Engineered to handle a spectrum of enterprise tasks, the Micron 9200 PRO delivers strong sequential throughput and robust random I/O capabilities. Its PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and NVMe protocol are optimized for low-latency reads and writes, giving data centers the headroom needed for database acceleration, virtualization, real-time analytics, and high-velocity caching. The drive benefits from an optimized energy-efficient design and a tuned controller that sustains high performance even as workloads shift between reads and writes. Built-in error correction, end-to-end data path protection, and power-loss protection cooperate to preserve data integrity during sudden outages or power fluctuations, reducing the risk of data loss and downtime across busy environments.
• Enterprise-grade endurance and reliability: The Micron 9200 PRO is designed for long, continuous operation in mixed-use deployments. It features robust wear-leveling, advanced ECC, and on-drive data protection to extend life in write-intensive workloads. Its reliability suite is complemented by proactive health monitoring and telemetry, enabling IT teams to forecast failures before they happen and perform planned maintenance without interrupting services. This drive is built to maintain steady performance across extended duty cycles, delivering predictable results in environments like ERP, CRM, virtualization clusters, and data analytics pipelines where uptime and data integrity are non-negotiable.
• Flexible form factor and connection: The 2.5-inch internal form factor with a U.2 interface makes the Micron 9200 PRO compatible with a broad range of servers, storage controllers, and backplanes. U.2 connectors support straightforward integration into existing server infrastructure, allowing easy upgrades and seamless expansion without rearchitecting storage layouts. The 2.5" footprint helps maximize rack density, while the backplane-friendly design supports enterprise-grade hot-swapping in compatible systems, minimizing downtime during maintenance windows and easing lifecycle management for IT teams.
• Security and data protection: Security is woven into the drive's design, with encryption at rest and secure erase capabilities to protect sensitive information throughout its lifecycle. In regulated industries or data-intensive operations, these features help organizations meet compliance requirements while safeguarding data from unauthorized access. Coupled with robust data-path protections and fault-tolerant firmware strategies, the Micron 9200 PRO provides a comprehensive security posture suitable for finance, healthcare, and government workloads where data integrity is paramount.
• Management simplicity and efficiency: Enterprise storage management is streamlined with the Micron 9200 PRO. The drive is designed to work with common management interfaces and virtualization platforms, enabling straightforward provisioning, monitoring, and firmware updates. Efficient idle states and power-conscious design reduce overall energy consumption, lowering cooling needs and total cost of ownership in dense data centers. For administrators, built-in health telemetry and compatibility with standard monitoring tools help accelerate troubleshooting and ensure consistent performance across multiple drives and arrays.
