Micron 11TB large-capacity SSD has come to mechanical hard disk how to deal with

[PConline News] Micron has been making waves recently, especially at the SC17 Supercomputing Conference where they showcased a range of advanced SSDs. These drives come in various capacities and performance levels, proving that Micron is pushing the boundaries of storage technology. One of the highlights was the 9200 series, specifically the 9200 ECO model with an 11TB capacity. This enterprise-grade drive uses Micron's 32-layer 3D TLC flash memory, offering capacities from 1.6TB up to 11TB, and supports both PCI-E 3.0 x4/x8 and NVMe protocols.

Micron has divided the 9200 series into three sub-series to cater to different usage scenarios. The table below provides detailed specifications for each variant.

The 9200 ECO is designed for read-heavy workloads, available in 8TB and 11TB configurations, with a total write endurance ranging from 11.7PB to 16.1PB.

The 9200 PRO is ideal for mixed read-write applications, offering capacities of 1.92TB, 3.84TB, and 7.68TB, with a total write endurance between 3.5PB and 14.0PB.

The 9200 MAX targets write-intensive tasks, available in 1.6TB, 3.2TB, and 6.4TB options, with a total write endurance of 8.8PB to 35.1PB.

Since these sub-series are tailored for different use cases, their internal components may vary. The highest sustained read and write speeds reach up to 5.5 GB/s and 3.5 GB/s respectively, while random I/O performance can hit 900,000 IOPS for reads and 275,000 IOPS for writes.

Recently, Micron officially unveiled the 9200 series in physical form, including the 11TB ECO version with U.2 form factor. This suggests that new product listings might be coming soon.

In addition, Micron’s 5100 series has also expanded with an 8TB model, which actually offers 7.68TB of usable space, with 320GB reserved as redundant space. It follows the SATA specification. Like the 9200 series, the 5100 series also uses 32-layer stacked TLC technology, and is powered by the Marvell 88SS1074 controller. It remains unclear whether this new model will see broader adoption.

Currently, enterprise storage still relies heavily on traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). However, with the introduction of large-capacity SSDs like the 9200 series, the future of storage could be shifting. That said, the high cost of SSDs remains a major obstacle. For instance, a previous 3.84TB model of the 5100 series was priced at around ¥18,000 in Japan’s Akihabara. If the 7.68TB version costs around ¥30,000, it's clear that SSDs are still not yet affordable for the average user. Despite their superior performance, price is a big hurdle when it comes to widespread adoption.

Class D Power Amplifiers: Pioneering Efficiency in Audio Technology
 
Class D power amplifiers utilize Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to achieve an exceptional 90%+ efficiency, far surpassing traditional Class AB amplifiers in energy utilization. This translates to 50% lower energy consumption and dramatically reduced heat output, rendering large cooling systems obsolete. Operating at high switching frequencies (200kHz–1MHz), these amplifiers deliver total harmonic distortion (THD) below 0.1%, ensuring high-fidelity sound reproduction. Their compact output filters further enable ultra-lightweight, space-efficient designs, making them ideal for applications prioritizing performance, size, and energy efficiency.
 
As the benchmark for efficient audio amplification, Class D technology dominates diverse sectors—from professional public address (PA) systems requiring robust, low-heat performance to sleek consumer electronics like portable speakers and automotive audio setups. By balancing power, precision, and economy, Class D amplifiers continue to redefine standards in modern audio engineering.
