Micron 6550 ION 30.70TB E3.S NVMe 5.0 enterprise SSD MTFDLBQ30T7THL-1BK1DFCYYR

SKU CH-YTYX-WG2ZG MPN MTFDLBQ30T7THL-1BK1DFCYYR

E3.S enterprise SSD delivers 30.70 TB capacity over a PCIe NVMe 5.0 interface for high-density server storage

  • Massive 30.70 TB capacity stores vast datasets
  • PCIe NVMe 5.0 interface delivers high-throughput data transfer
  • E3.S form factor enables dense server deployments
  • Enterprise-grade endurance supports intensive write workloads
  • Power-efficient design reduces operational energy costs

Capacity and Interface

The Micron 6550 ION is a 30.70 TB enterprise solid-state drive built for internal server deployment. It uses an E3.S form factor and connects through a PCI Express NVMe 5.0 interface. The drive is designed for power efficiency and high reliability in demanding data-centre environments.

Suitable Workloads and Limitations

This SSD suits operators who need high-capacity, low-latency storage for read-intensive or mixed workloads in compatible E3.S bays. Buyers whose chassis only accept U.2, M.2 or other form factors cannot install this drive. Systems limited to PCIe 4.0 or earlier will not reach the interface’s full throughput potential.

Deciding Specification

The PCI Express NVMe 5.0 interface standard is the single specification that determines whether this drive can deliver its rated performance in a given platform. A server backplane and CPU root complex that support PCIe 5.0 are required to utilise the available bandwidth. Without that support the drive will operate at the lower speed of the host link.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Micron 6550 ION 30.70TB E3.S drive and what step is often missed?

Insert the drive into an E3.S backplane slot until the connector seats fully, then secure the retention latch; the step often missed is confirming the latch clicks, which guarantees PCIe 5.0 electrical contact.

What maintenance or replacement will the Micron 6550 ION 30.70TB E3.S drive need later?

Enterprise SSDs like this have no user-serviceable parts; replacement occurs when the drive reaches its rated endurance limit or SMART health indicators signal wear.

What limit appears first on the Micron 6550 ION 30.70TB E3.S under sustained heavy writes?

The drive will hit its write-endurance threshold before thermal throttling activates, at which point the controller reduces performance to protect stored data.
