Micron 4600 SSD: The Ultimate Gen5 OEM Storage for Next-Gen Computing
Feb 18, 2025
Micron 4600 Gen5 SSD delivers high-speed storage for AI, workstations, and gaming, with up to 14.5GB/s reads and faster AI model loading.
Micron is bringing PCIe Gen5 storage to its client SSD lineup with the Micron 4600 NVMe SSD, a high-performance drive aimed at creative professionals, AI workloads, and gamers—essentially anyone who needs fast, responsive storage in a workstation or gaming rig. The 4600 doubles sequential read speeds over its Gen4 predecessor, hitting up to 14.5GB/s reads and 12GB/s writes, but the real-world impact extends beyond synthetic benchmarks. Micron has focused on improving “felt performance,” such as application responsiveness, large dataset handling, and AI model loading. It is an ideal choice for system builders looking to deliver high-performance configurations.
High-speed burst performance is only part of the Micron 4600’s story. Sustained performance and responsiveness under demanding workloads are just as critical, particularly for professionals working with data science, AI model training, and machine learning inference. AI applications stand to benefit from faster LLM model loading, with Micron reporting sub-one-second load times for Llama-2 models—a 61% improvement over Gen4 SSDs. This level of storage performance ensures that researchers and engineers can work with massive datasets and complex models without bottlenecks, keeping GPUs and CPUs fully utilized instead of waiting on storage.
