Micron (MU) began volume production of G9 NAND-based PCIe Gen6 data-center solid-state drives during 2026.

Micron’s Form 10-K, filed on October 9, 2026, states that the company began volume production of G9 NAND-based, Peripheral Component Interconnect Express generation 6 (PCIe Gen6) data-center solid-state drives (SSDs) in 2026. This is a disclosed production milestone, not merely a product-development plan.

Micron describes these drives as accelerating AI training and inference through faster data transfers and improved energy efficiency. Those benefits are company statements in the filing; the supplied extract contains no throughput, latency, input/output-operations-per-second, or power measurements.

The products fall within Micron’s Core Data Center Business Unit (CDBU), which covers storage for all data-center customers and memory for original equipment manufacturer, enterprise, and neocloud customers. CDBU reported revenue of $37.59 billion in 2026, compared with $7.23 billion in 2025 and $4.98 billion in 2024, but these totals include other memory and storage products and are not PCIe Gen6 SSD revenue.

Separately, a Telegram report quoting the 10-K says Micron’s board approved a maximum discretionary common-stock repurchase amount of $35.16 billion, effective December 9, 2026. It reports approximately $2.2 billion remaining under the previous $10 billion authorization; this is repurchase authorization, not completed purchases, and the relevant filing passage is not included in the supplied SEC extract.
