Micron 6600 ION NVMe SSD

Name: Micron 6600 ION NVMe SSD
Brand: Micron

The Micron 6600 ION NVMe SSD is a capacity-focused PCIe Gen5 data center SSD family built for the exascale era of AI, cloud, enterprise, and hyperscale storage. It spans 30.72TB to a category-leading 245.76TB, including the industry's first E3.L 245TB data center SSD.

With capacities up to 245TB per drive, the Micron 6600 ION sets a new standard for SSD density. This allows data centers to pack petabytes of storage into fewer servers and rack units (up to 5.6x the capacity per rack of high-capacity HDDs), dramatically reducing space, power, and cooling costs.

Built on Micron's ninth-generation (G9) QLC NAND with a six-plane architecture, the 6600 ION delivers up to 1.9x the power efficiency of high-capacity data center HDDs while maintaining the reliability of a fully vertically integrated Micron design (NAND, DRAM, controller, firmware, and validation).

As an authorized Micron distributor, Edge Electronics can supply the full 6600 ION family to help customers reduce footprint, energy costs, and rack real estate while maintaining reliability and performance.

Capacity & Form Factor Lineup

The Micron 6600 ION family is available across U.2, E3.S, and E3.L form factors. Capacities from 30.72TB through 122.88TB are in full production; the 245.76TB E3.L is Micron's new flagship. Contact Edge for current availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Micron 6600 ION NVMe SSD?

The Micron 6600 ION is a capacity-focused PCIe Gen5 data center SSD family built on Micron G9 QLC NAND. It ranges from 30.72TB to 245.76TB and is designed for AI, cloud, enterprise, and hyperscale storage where density and power efficiency matter most.

What capacities and form factors are available?

Capacities are 30.72TB, 61.44TB, 122.88TB, and 245.76TB. Form factors include U.2 (15mm), E3.S 1T (7.5mm), and E3.L, plus a custom E1.L option at 122.88TB. The 30.72TB through 122.88TB drives are in full production; the 245.76TB E3.L is Micron's new flagship.

Is the 6600 ION TAA-compliant and FIPS certified?

Yes. The 6600 ION is available in TAA-compliant, FIPS 140-3 L2 certifiable configurations with self-encrypting drive (SED / TCG Opal) options, plus CNSA 2.0 and SPDM 1.2 support, making it suitable for military, defense, and government storage programs.

How does the 6600 ION compare to hard drives?

Against a 44TB capacity-class HDD, the 245.76TB E3.L delivers up to 5.6x the capacity per rack and about 1.9x the power efficiency. That means far fewer racks, servers, and watts to store the same data, lowering space, power, and cooling costs.

What is the part number for the 245TB 6600 ION?

An example E3.L configuration is MTFDLBR245T8QHF-1BQ1JABYY for the standard model, or MTFDLBR245T8QHF-1BQ1DFCYY for the secure FIPS / TAA / SED model. These are built per Micron's numbering guide; contact Edge to confirm the orderable part number.
