Check out these insights from Micron's technical experts on workload testing.

Scanning the horizon for the peak of AI performance

What happens when AI experts combine innovative software-defined storage (SDS) with high-performance NVMe SSDs? Good things. Fast and scalable things.

Micron 7500: Mainstream NVMe for the real world

Micron's 7500 NVMe™ SSD has low and consistent latency, which enables rapid, reliable responsiveness for demanding data center workloads. This blog discusses performance and latency for the Micron 7500 SSD across a range of mixed read/write workloads and block sizes, demonstrating its best-in-class QoS versus competitive SSDs.

Real life workloads, more efficient data granularity enable very large SSD capacities

Growing SSD capacity and increased power consumption require a more modern data map granularity. In the past, the industry was hesitant to make any changes that would negatively impact SSD life. Recent and focused data from real applications shows that this may not be the case, and there is a path towards a more efficient mapping.

Eliminating the I/O blender: The promise of flexible data placement

Google and Meta have worked closely to introduce the Flexible Data Placement (FDP) mode into the NVMe spec. In this blog, our testing shows that FDP decreases write amplification by 60% for sequential workloads.

Comparing Micron 7450, Samsung PM9A3 and Solidigm D5-P5430

db_bench is Meta’s preferred workload testing methodology as it provides a good emulation of workloads at the query level and simulates precise RocksDB storage I/Os. In this blog, we talk about a test that compares the performance of Micron's 7450 vs Samsung's PM9A3 vs Solidigm's D5-P5430 for RocksDB.

Digging in: Apache Cassandra performance with Micron 6500 ION SSD

Read about our deeper dive into the Apache Cassandra workload featured in our recently published tech brief comparing 6500 ION performance to a competitor's QLC drive. Bursty workloads require SSDs that perform well at high average disk IOs — an area where the Micron 6500 ION excels.

Micron 6500 ION provides massive WEKA performance on AMD-based servers

Check out these test results for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI using WEKA Data Platform software. We coupled this software with Supermicro servers built on the 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ 9554 and the Micron 6500 ION SSD.
