Micron has announced that the Micron 2550 NVMe SSD will be going end-of-life (EOL) and its replacement drive is the Micron 2650 NVMe SSD.
The Micron 2650 enables exceptional performance and excellent user experience for client applications.
This series is available in the M.2 form factor with size options of 22x30mm, 22x42mm, and 22x80mm. The Micron 2650 also includes both Non-SED and TCG Opal security options to meet various data protection requirements.
Features & Benefits of the Micron 2650 SSD
- Ninth-generation (G9) 3D NAND technology
- Up to 7,000 MB/s sequential read speeds
- Industry-leading six-plane TLC NAND for improved performance
- Enhanced power efficiency and thermal management

FAQ with Edge's FAE, Keith Peterson
Our Micron FAE, Keith Peterson, answers a few of the most asked questions regarding the transition process from the Micron 2550 SSD to the new Micron 2650 SSD.
Q: What is the primary difference between the going-obsolete Micron 2550 moving to the replacement Micron 2650?
A: The Micron 2550 used the legacy Eighth-Generation (G8) from Micron. However, Micron is the first to ship the industry's Ninth-Generation (G9) 3D NAND in a production SSD. This innovative G9 NAND helps ensure that the Micron 2650 SSD provides a best-in-class user experience for everyday computing with performance that beats competitive client SSDs.
Q: Are there any performance benefits transitioning from the Micron 2550 to the Micron 2650?
A: Yes, even though the Micron 2650 and 2550 are both PCIe Gen4 NVMe Solid State Drives, the Micron 2650 SSD reaches up to 7,000 MB/s read speed vs 5,000 MB/s in the previous generation to meet your everyday computing needs. The Micron 2650 offers class-leading performance, including:
- Up to 70% better sequential read
- Up to 103% better sequential write
- Up to 156% better random read
- Up to 85% better random write
