Description

Product Attribute Micron 6500 ION SSD Solidigm D5-P5316 The ION Difference
Sequential 128KB reads 6,800 MB/s 7,000 MB/s Similar
Sequential 128KB writes 5,757 MB/s 3,643 MB/s 58% better
Random 4KB reads 440,901 IOPS 272,826 IOPS 62% better
Random 4KB read latency 70μs average 106μs 34% better
Random 4KB writes 254,244 IOPS 7,777 IOPS Over 30X more
Mixed 4KB 70/30 random reads/writes 400,000 IOPS Not noted on public documents Significantly better per higher base specs
Mixed 4KB 70/30 random read latency 70μs average 167μs average More than 2X better
Endurance (100% random writes) 0.3 RDWPD (9 TB/day) 0.026 RDWPD (<1 TB/day) More than 10X better
Sustainability Benefit Micron 6500 ION SSD Feature
Lower active power consumption Up to 20% lower power consumption than the competition (uses up to 20W vs. up to 25W on the competing QLC SSD).
Reduced cooling requirements Lower power consumption translates to lower overall cooling requirements.
Less e-waste Higher endurance rating means the Micron 6500 ION SSD can tolerate the same write workload longer, making the SSD last longer
Longer infrastructure lifespan 10X more 4KB random write endurance extends SSD useful life, enabling longer rated service life.
Server consolidation Industry-leading 30.72TB capacity enables nearly 1PB per U with E1.L form factor (>35PB per rack based on 1U server like the Supermicro 1029P-NEL32R with 32x E1.L SSDs, 30.72TB each, yielding 983TB per U for a standard 42U rack). Server consolidation means fewer physical servers to purchase and maintain reducing procurement (CapEx), ongoing maintenance costs (OpEx), and environmental impact since fewer servers and drives are needed to store the same amount of data.
ION Feature Data Center Advantage
Superior NAND⁸ Leading die density of 14.55 Gb/mm² vs. competing QLC die density of 13.80 Gb/mm² enables better value, thanks to Micron NAND layer leadership
Supply chain fidelity Multiple SSD assembly and test sites versus single assembly site for the competing QLC SSD
Industry’s most advanced security features SPDM 1.2 (attestation) for identity authentication and firmware integrity verification
TAA-compliant with FIPS 140-3 L2 certifiability at the ASIC level for maximum security
Secure hash algorithm (SHA)-512, the strongest NIST-approved algorithm for signature generation
TCG Opal 2.01-compliant SED SKUs available
Future-proofed specs Compliant with latest industry standards, such as OCP 2.0, NVMe 2.0, and NVMe-MI 1.2b
SRIS Reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) through spread spectrum clocking (SSC)
Full enterprise feature set Scatter/gather lists (SGLs), power-loss protection (PLP), data path protection (DPP), firmware activate without reset (FW AWOR), sanitize, 5-year warranty, and more⁹
Qualify with confidence Proven third-generation, vertically integrated Micron NVMe SSD architecture
