Micron 9550 PRO 7.50 TB NVMe SSD – E3.S Internal PCIe 5.0 Enterprise NVMe

Designed for data centers, enterprise databases, virtualization, and analytics workloads, the Micron 9550 PRO 7.50 TB NVMe SSD delivers uncompromising performance, reliability, and scalability. This E3.S internal drive leverages the PCIe 5.0 NVMe interface to provide substantial throughput, ultra-low latency, and consistent I/O under demanding conditions. With a generous 7.50 TB capacity, it enables you to consolidate workloads, accelerate cold data with hot data performance, and reduce total cost of ownership through higher density storage that fits cleanly into modern server ecosystems. Built for mission-critical environments, the Micron 9550 PRO combines enterprise-grade endurance, robust data protection, and flexible deployment options that scale with your business needs.

• Massive capacity for transformative data-center storage: At 7.50 terabytes, this Micron NVMe SSD is engineered to handle large-scale databases, data lakes, virtualization, and analytics workloads without frequent tiering or expansion. The high-capacity design reduces the need for external storage tiers, simplifies capacity planning, and helps keep hot data readily accessible. In dense data-center configurations, the 7.5 TB footprint translates into more usable space per server node, improving rack efficiency and reducing hardware sprawl.

• PCIe 5.0 NVMe performance for sustained enterprise throughput: Built on the PCIe 5.0 NVMe interface, the Micron 9550 PRO delivers elevated bandwidth and lower latency, enabling faster boot, database query acceleration, real-time analytics, and high-velocity virtualized workloads. The drive is optimized to sustain heavy I/O patterns, support high queue depths, and maintain predictable performance as workloads ramp—critical for mission-critical applications and service-level objectives.

• E3.S form factor for dense, scalable server deployments: The compact E3.S internal form factor is purpose-built for modern servers and storage arrays, enabling higher density in 1U to 2U chassis and compatible cages. This design supports streamlined cabling, simplified maintenance, and easy expansion within existing deployments. For data-center operators, the E3.S footprint means more drives per chassis, improved rack utilization, and a more efficient path to scalable storage growth without sacrificing performance.

• Enterprise-grade reliability and endurance: Engineered for continuous operation in data-center environments, the Micron 9550 PRO emphasizes endurance, data integrity, and long-term reliability. Features such as wear leveling, strong error correction code (ECC), and robust power-management practices help minimize performance degradation over time. The drive is designed to withstand sustained workloads, deliver stable response times, and maintain data availability for critical applications like OLTP systems, ERP databases, and real-time analytics platforms.

• Security, data protection, and right-size protection features: Enterprise-grade security features, including hardware-accelerated encryption and end-to-end data protection, help safeguard sensitive information at rest and during transfer. The Micron 9550 PRO supports on-drive encryption and secure erase capabilities, enabling compliance with regulatory requirements and streamlined data lifecycle management within regulated industries. With built-in protection against data corruption and rapid recovery options, organizations can maintain resilience even under adverse events.
