Micron 9100 and 7100 NVMe SSD, new Solid State Drive for the enterprise sector

SSD in the Enterprise sector there is a real turmoil, with increasingly frequent introduction of new solutions designed for the most diverse needs. In the server There are various hardware-software solutions to achieve objectives, which is why it can happen to need huge capacities and performance rather limited, or the opposite, very often one of the endless configurations that are in the middle.

Now that the price of NAND memory continues to fall, it is easier than in the past to note the Enterprise SSD lists large capacity and high performance at the same time, although these units are still very expensive for the consumer audience. Micron, these days, has announced the renewal of its line with two product families, 9100 and 7100, with which to compete in the dense and profitable arena.

The most powerful series is the 9100, which offers units with interfaaccia PCIe 3.0 x4 and Protocol NVMe, with capacities ranging from 800GB to 3.2TB well. Performance in reading and writing are respectively 3GB / s and 2GB / s, IOPS values in the order of 750,000 Two form factors that are proposed the now classic (in the enterprise sector) but also HHHL U.2 or a 2.5 inch of thickness greater than those consumer, and specific connectors.

The 7100 series has always been known as PCI and NVMe protocol interface, but with a 2.5-inch form factor M.2 or U.2 slim. Micron says a peak in the 2.5GB / s performance for reading, with IOPS per share 220000. The cuts range from 400GB to 1.9 GB. Needless to try to figure out how much they cost, because they are products that follow direct channels with companies and can vary greatly according to the orders or to prior agreements.
