- Advanced power management for optimized energy consumption
These features make the Storage Large v4 a powerhouse for both storage-heavy and compute-intensive tasks, delivering better parallelism, AI readiness, and energy efficiency than previous generations.
Advantages of the Micron 7450 MAX NVMe Drives
The Micron 7450 MAX series is engineered for high endurance and maximum performance in demanding enterprise environments. Key benefits include:
- Outstanding endurance with 3 Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD)
- Ultra-low latency for rapid data access
- PCIe Gen 4 NVMe interface for faster throughput
- Enterprise-grade reliability with power loss protection
- Ideal for cache layers, metadata storage, and high-transaction workloads
When deployed in the Storage Large v4, these drives ensure low-latency storage performance critical for database operations, AI/ML training, and Ceph cluster journaling.
Storage Servers with 4x 6.4TB NVMe Micron 7450 MAX Drives
Each OpenMetal Large v4 Storage Server is engineered to deliver both massive storage capacity and high-speed performance out of the box, making it ideal for modern enterprise storage needs. The default configuration includes:
- 12 x 20TB HDDs (240TB raw capacity):
Perfect for large datasets, cold storage, and long-term archival. - 4 x 6.4TB Micron 7450 MAX NVMe SSDs (25.6TB total):
Optimized for fast caching, journaling, metadata operations, or high-throughput workloads. - 2 x 960GB Boot Disks:
Dedicated disks for operating system and services, ensuring separation of storage tiers. - 4 Hot-Swappable NVMe Bays:
Enables easy drive replacement and future upgrades without service disruption.
The Micron 7450 MAX NVMe SSDs offer enterprise-grade performance:
- Sequential Reads up to 6,800 MB/s | Sequential Writes up to 5,600 MB/s
- Up to 1M Read IOPS and 400K Write IOPS
- <80µs latency, 3 DWPD endurance for write-heavy workloads
Custom NVMe Upgrade Options
Though each Storage v4 server comes standard with 4 x 6.4TB Micron 7450 MAX drives, customers have full control over their flash tier. OpenMetal offers a range of upgrade options (additional cost) that allow you to fine-tune performance, endurance, and capacity to suit your workload:
Drive Option | Capacity | Endurance | Use Case |
---|---|---|---|
Micron 7450 MAX | 6.4TB | 3 DWPD | Write-intensive, performance-first tasks |
Micron 7450 MAX | 12.8TB | 3 DWPD | High capacity + high endurance workloads |
Micron Pro (1 DWPD) | 3.84TB | 1 DWPD | Balanced performance/cost |
Micron Pro (1 DWPD) | 7.68TB | 1 DWPD | Larger read-heavy datasets |
Micron Pro (1 DWPD) | 15.36TB | 1 DWPD | Maximize flash capacity on a budget |
This level of customizability means you can adapt your server’s performance profile to match specific application demands—whether you’re running Ceph journaling, block storage, object metadata indexing, or caching layers.
