Micron’s 9650 drive is the company’s first PCIe Gen 6 SSD in mass production. Engineers planning storage architecture now face a decision: “Which PCIe generation is right for my design?”

PCIe generation sets the throughput ceiling for your storage design. Moving from Gen 4 to Gen 5 roughly doubles available bandwidth; Gen 6 doubles it again. The 9650 is the first PCIe Gen 6 SSD in mass production from Micron, and it changes what's possible for AI infrastructure and high-density deployments.

Edge Electronics is heading back to Display Week 2026, and this year, we're bringing more LCD Solutions to the booth than ever.

Organized by the Society for Information Display (SID), Display Week is the premier global event for the display industry,  bringing together engineers, innovators, and industry leaders to explore the latest advancements in display technology.

If you've been waiting longer than expected for SSDs, RAM, or other storage components, you're not imagining it.

Teams start with a workload, a deployment environment, and a set of expectations around performance, reliability, and scale. The challenge is selecting a system that behaves consistently once it is deployed into production conditions rather than evaluated in isolation.

Across data center, edge, and embedded environments, the right system is the one that fits how and where it will be used, supporting sustained operation, predictable performance, and long-term maintainability.

That’s why Supermicro built the Gold Series: pre-configured, validated systems based on proven deployment patterns. Gold Series systems are assembled and pre-tested, designed to ship quickly, and ready to deploy from day one.
