Micron Launches Full Form Factor Family of 7400 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs

Micron has introduced its enterprise-grade 7400 Series NVMe SSDs. The 7400 series SSDs are based on Micron's 96-layer 3D TLC NAND technology and are compatible with NVMe version 1.4. The Micron 7400 SSDs are offered in seven form factors to support transitions to next-generation server architectures. These form factors include two small M.2 cards for tablets and ultrabooks, three U.3 configurations for server-installed drives, and two configurations for rack-mount E1.S.

The Micron 7400 SSD includes the only PCIe Gen4 M.2 22x80mm model with power loss protection, as well as 2.5-inch U.3 data center SSDs in 15mm and 7mm thicknesses. They also feature new E1.S enterprise and data center SSD form factors (EDSFF) in three different sizes, enabling higher density, flash-optimized performance, and improved power and cooling options. Capacities range from 400GB for the smallest 80mm M.2 drive to 7.68TB for the U.3 15mm form factor.

According to Micron, the 7400 SSDs deliver twice the throughput of third-generation NVMe drives at the same power consumption. They are also compatible with PCIe Gen 3 drives, simplifying the transition from Gen3 to Gen 4.

Each SSD drive supports up to 128 namespaces for improved scalability. This enables customers to use them with a variety of SQL, NoSQL, block storage, object storage, and software-defined storage implementations. The Micron 7400 Series NVMe SSDs also support the Open Compute Project (OCP) standard, which should help improve compatibility and interchangeability with other OCP-supporting SSD drive manufacturers.

The new drives also support TCG-Opal 2.01 and IEEE-1667, which are new standards to protect data in transit and at rest. The company also touts the development of its Secure Execution Environment (SEE), which helps isolate and process security transactions to extend protection against evolving threats.

The new Micron 7400 Series NVMe SSDs offer high performance and security to meet the storage demands of demanding data center workloads, but they can also fall victim to logical and physical failures that lead to data loss. To recover their critical data, their owners will need to contact a professional data recovery service provider like the FixmyData team. Capable of successfully recovering data from all types of SSD drives, and ready to help meet Micron 7400 Series NVMe SSD data recovery needs.
