Micron Technology announced that its 9550 PCIe Gen5 E1.S data center SSDs have been added to NVIDIA's recommended vendor list (RVL) for the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system. This qualification positions Micron's storage solutions as ideal for optimizing performance and power efficiency in demanding AI workloads, such as large-scale AI model training and real-time language model inference.
The Micron 9550 SSD demonstrates superior performance, delivering up to 34% higher throughput for NVIDIA Magnum IO™ GPUDirect® (GDS) and achieving up to 33% faster workload completion times in graph neural network (GNN) training. Furthermore, it sets new sustainability benchmarks by consuming significantly less energy, with up to 81% lower SSD energy per 1TB transferred with GDS.
In addition to the 9550 SSDs, Micron's 7450 PRO E1.S and M.2 SSDs were also listed on the NVIDIA RVL. Crucially, the NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip, a cornerstone for rack-scale AI infrastructure, will ship with Micron's LPDDR5X memory, providing a unique combination of high capacity, low power, and enhanced reliability for AI servers.
