Micron Technology, Inc., today announced the Micron 9400 NVMe SSD is in volume production and immediately available from channel partners and to global OEM customers for use in servers requiring the highest levels of storage performance. The Micron 9400 is designed to manage the most demanding data center workloads, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI) training, machine learning (ML) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The drive delivers an industry-leading 30.72 terabytes (TB) of storage capacity, superior workload performance versus the competition, and 77% improved input/output operations per second (IOPS). The Micron 9400 is the world’s fastest PCIe Gen4 data center U.3 drive shipping and delivers consistently low latency at all capacity points.

“High performance, capacity and low latency are critical features for enterprises seeking to maximize their investments in AI/ML and supercomputing systems,” said Alvaro Toledo, vice president and general manager of data center storage at Micron. “Thanks to its industry-leading 30TB capacity and stunning performance with over 1 million IOPS in mixed workloads, the Micron 9400 SSD packs larger datasets into each server and accelerates machine learning training, which equips users to squeeze more out of their GPUs.”

Transcend Information, a leading manufacturer of embedded memory products, is pleased to announce the release of our new Power Loss Protection (PLP) solid-state drives (SSDs) for enterprise customers. These SSDs have been designed to ensure data transfer integrity in the event of unexpected power loss, making them a valuable feature for systems that frequently experience unstable power sources, such as 5G network facilities, smart factories, and transportation surveillance networks.

Our PLP technology, which has been developed for SSDs with DRAM cache, is able to prevent data loss and corruption that may occur due to power failure. It operates by using a voltage detector and tantalum capacitors to provide power to the controller and DRAM cache in the event of a power failure, allowing for a longer buffer time for data to be transferred from the DRAM cache to NAND flash. When the voltage drops to a specific value, the controller will stop accepting new write commands and enter write-protection mode.
