SSD Micron 7450 MAX 12.8 TB U.3 PCI Express 4.0 NVMe 3D TLC NAND

The Micron 7450 SSD with NVMe is a data center NVMe drive built on Micron’s 176-layer 3D NAND and optimized for PCIe Gen4 platforms. Available in a broad range of form factors including U.3, M.2 and E1.S, the 7450 supports capacities from 400 GB up to 15.36 TB and is intended for boot, cache and main data storage roles in cloud and data-center environments. The drive delivers consistently low latency (2 ms and under for 99.9999% QoS) and includes enterprise features such as power-loss protection on select M.2 models and a Secure Execution Environment for improved data security.

Advantages

The Micron 7450 combines Micron’s 176-layer NAND and CMOS-under-array technology with PCIe Gen4 to provide high throughput and reduced response times for diverse workloads. It offers wide deployment flexibility with multiple form factors and capacities up to 15.36 TB, predictable low-latency behavior for enterprise QoS targets, and hardware-level features that address server booting and data protection needs.

Suitable for

• Server boot drives and system firmware storage
• Database servers (SQL, Oracle, MySQL) and key-value stores (RocksDB, Cassandra, Aerospike)
• Cache and tiered storage in cloud and hyperscale environments
• High-capacity primary storage for virtualized workloads and containers

Key specifications

• Interface: PCIe Gen4, NVMe
• NAND: Micron 176-layer 3D NAND (TLC)
• Form factors: U.3, M.2 22x80 mm, E1.S (varies by model)
• Capacities: 400 GB – 15.36 TB (model-dependent; product example: 12.8 TB U.3)
• Latency: Consistently 2 ms and lower for 99.9999% QoS (manufacturer data)
• Enterprise features: Power-loss protection on select M.2 models; Secure Execution Environment

How to use

Install the Micron 7450 SSD into a compatible PCIe Gen4 slot or a supported U.3/E1.S carrier according to the server or motherboard instructions. For M.2 models with power-loss protection, install in an M.2 slot that supports the required keying and power delivery. Initialize and format the drive in your operating system or hypervisor, configure it for the intended role (boot, cache or main storage), and deploy workload-specific settings such as queue depth and firmware updates recommended by Micron.

Recommendations

Choose the form factor and capacity that match your platform and workload: use M.2 22x80 mm models with power-loss protection for system boot, U.3 or E1.S variants for high-density data center deployments, and select higher-capacity models (for example 12.8 TB or 15.36 TB) where large primary storage or reduced drive count is important. Follow Micron’s firmware and qualification guidance for best performance and reliability.
