At Computex 2026, Micron showcased its first PCIe Gen6 data center SSD, the 9650, as reported by ServeTheHome on July 5, 2026. The drive offers sequential read speeds up to 28GB/s and random read IOPS up to 5.5M, targeting AI inference and training markets where storage I/O is a growing bottleneck. This product launch positions Micron to capture high-value data center demand as PCIe Gen6 infrastructure ramps. What the sources said: - ServeTheHome: "The drive is clearly geared more towards reads than writes, with read performance up to 2x Gen5, and Micron is aiming right for the top of the market—AI inference and training."
