Micron 6550 ION 30.72 TB enterprise SSD MTFDLAL30T7THL-1BK1DFCYYR

SKU CH-M5T0-E3XZE MPN MTFDLAL30T7THL-1BK1DFCYYR

Enterprise U.2 NVMe SSD delivering 30.72 TB capacity with 14,000 MB/s sequential read and 2,000,000 random read IOPS

  • 72 TB capacity supports massive datasets
  • 14,000 MB/s sequential read accelerates data access
  • 2,000,000 random read IOPS handles heavy workloads
  • 5 million hours MTTF ensures long-term reliability
  • Hardware encryption with FIPS 140-3 Level 2 protects sensitive data

Capacity and interface

The Micron 6550 ION provides 30.72 TB of storage in a 15 mm U.2 form factor. It connects through a PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe interface and uses Micron G8 TLC NAND. The drive is rated for 2.5 million device hours MTTF.

Enterprise encryption focus

This SSD suits operators who need hardware-based encryption with TCG Opal and FIPS 140-3 Level 2 validation, plus SHA-512 support and TAA compliance. Buyers who require a different physical connector or a lower power envelope should evaluate other form factors.

Endurance profile by workload

Endurance is expressed in drive writes per day and varies with the write pattern: 1.00 DWPD for 128 KB sequential or 16 KB random writes, 0.90 DWPD for a 90/10 random mix, 0.75 DWPD for a 70/30 mix, 0.60 DWPD for a 50/50 mix, 0.50 DWPD for 8 KB random, 0.25 DWPD for 4 KB random, and 0.30 DWPD under the JESD219A workload.

Questions about this item

Does the Micron 6550 ION 30.72 TB SSD ship with a heatsink or mounting bracket, or must those be sourced separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 15 mm U.2 module; any heatsink, carrier or bracket required by the server chassis must be purchased separately.

The spec sheet lists several endurance ratings — which workload figure should I use for a mixed read-write database?

For a mixed workload the JESD219A rating of 0.30 DWPD represents the standard endurance baseline.

The sequential read speed is quoted at 14,000 MB/s — will a single drive sustain that in a PCIe 5.0 x4 slot?

Yes, 14,000 MB/s is the measured 128 KB sequential read at QD128 on a PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 link.
