Check both 30.72TB and 7.68TB models
It took a while for vendors to stop charging exorbitant fees and SSDs included mass storage offerings. Corporate drives require much higher standards than computer drives, but companies weren’t interested in spending much of their budgets. Thankfully, this has changed over the years, and his enterprise-class SSD market has exploded.
TweakTown looked at two Micron 9400 Pro models available, a tiny 7.68TB and a giant 30.72TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD. The drive uses Micron’s 176-layer B47R 3-bit flash with an unspecified controller. The drive has great specs, offering up to 1.6 million IOPS on PCIe Gen4 and offering up to 7,000 MB/s sequential writes. TweakTown’s tests showed up to 371,000 4K random write IOPS, which is a pretty conservative estimate.
If you want to know what it takes to test a 30.72TB drive, our review required 150 hours and about 16.5 petabytes of test data. All this work was worth it if you’re looking for the best enterprise PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives. The Micron 9400 Pro series is the best they’ve seen.
