When performance is critical The Micron ® 9400 SSD sets a new performance benchmark for data center PCIe Gen4 storage. Decades of experience have led to a server SSD that packs in over 30TB 1 of usable capacity, outperforms competitors up to 2.3x in mixed workloads 2 , 3 and improves power efficiency up to 77% 4 . There can be no concessions for performance-critical workloads. For these applications, fast ingest alone is not enough — responding in microseconds delivers a true competitive advantage.

• Class-leading data center performance of up to 2.3x in real-world, mixed workload applications 2 • 6x9s read latency leads the industry by as much as 3.2x 3 • Sequential read/write performance up to 7GB/s is industry fastest by 66% 2 • Random read/write performance up to 1.6M IOPS is also industry fastest 2 • Capacities range from 6.4TB up to a class-leading 30.72TB 1 • Improves power efficiency up to 77% 4 • Delivers PCIe ® 4.0 NVMe™ server storage • Built on Micron’s world-leading 176-layer NAND 5 Product Highlights

Product Features • Power loss protection • Enterprise data path protection • 128 NVMe namespaces • NVMe v1.4 • NVMe Management Interface (MI) over SMBus • NVMe power states • Firmware activated without reset • Secure boot • Secure firmware download • Hardware root of trust, secure signed firmware • TRIM support with garbage collection • Self-monitoring and reporting technology (SMART) • 5-year limited warranty 6

• 30.72TB capacity is the largest option. User capacity: 1GB = 1 billion bytes; formatted capacity is less • Comparisons are made based on other leading PCIe Gen4 Data Center U.2/U.3 NVMe SSDs based on data center market share as noted in the Forward Insights SSD Supplier Status Q2/22 report and available on the open market at the time of this document’s initial publication. 1GB = 1 billion bytes, formatted capacity is less. • Performance measured using 7.68TB SSDs at queue depth (QD) = 256 with FIO (additional details on FIO are available here: https://fio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). • 77% efficiency improvement is vs the Micron 9300 SSD. Efficiency is defined as performance per watt. • Additional information available here: www.micron.com/176 • Warranty valid for 5 years from the original date of purchase or before writing the maximum total bytes written (TBW) as published in the product datasheet and as measured in the product’s SMART data, whichever comes first.
