Micron 7450 Form Factors and Capacities
In Micron’s view, one of the biggest draws of the Micron 7450 is the sheer range of available capacities (from 400GB to 15.36TB) and form factors, allowing it to meet virtually any storage, power, and thermal use case. Available form factors are comprised of U.3 (7mm and 15mm), E1.S (5.9mm, 15mm, and 25mm), and M.2 (22x80mm and 22x110mm). Among the available model is the industry’s only PCIe Gen4 U.3 SSD that is offered in both 15mm and 7mm as well as a 7.68TB E1.S option.
Micron 7450 Performance
Organizations will also be able to customize their deployments further, as the Micron 7450 offers a comprehensive range of performance profiles. The U.3 form factor is quoted to deliver up to 6.8GB/s read (for all capacities) and up to 5.6GB/s write (for 7.68TB and 15.36TB models) in sequential performance, while random reads and writes have a potential to reach 1 million IOPS and 410,000 IOPS, respectively, with the highest capacity MAX model.
Micron 7450 Security Features
The Micron7459 features the company’s unique Secure Execution Environment, self-encrypting drives (SEDs), and Microsoft eDrive options. This will allow organizations to base their deployments on their security their specific requirements.
Here’s a detailed rundown of the Security features:
| Micron 7450 SSD Feature | Benefit |
| Secure Execution Environment | Includes dedicated, isolated security processing hardware for security-related functions. Physical isolation helps protect against attacks. |
| Security Flexibility | SED and non-SED options available to help meet varied security deployment options. |
| Industry Standard Security | TCG Opal 2.01 and IEEE 1667 options available; FIPS 140-3 Level 2 certification eases adoption to existing security deployments. |
| Asymmetric Roots of Trust | Easily revoke previously authenticated root keys (in immutable ROM) to meet changing needs. |
| Strong Asymmetric Key Support | Uses standard, National Institute of Standards and technology (NIST)-approved algorithms with 208- bit/3072-bit RSA keys for standardized, strong key support. |
| RSA Delegation Key Support | Enables customers to maintain ownership of RSA keys, helping keep ownership within customer boundaries. |
| Secure Boot | Helps ensure firmware integrity on a running platform and defends against malware. |
| Key-Based Firmware Update | Validates firmware using public key-based authentication prior to firmware update (malware protection). |
| Key-Based Privileged Access | Helps protect against unauthorized privileged SSD function execution with public key-based authorization. Helps guard against unauthorized changes. |
