EXPIRED $50: 1.9TB Micron 9200 Pro with Adapter

Also nice to see: 9 DRAM chips, so it's actually running ECC on the cache, not just the NAND (the product brief isn't really specific about that point.)

As I look harder at the photos, there seems to be more power circuitry than I would have expected, and most of it is on the opposite side of the drive from the power connector - I wonder if they're placed there so they get the coolest airflow through those small front vents, and whether that 71C temperature sensor might actually be on a VRM.

i found pic of the internals of p4510 and also maybe interesting info: cap on the p4510 is rated up to 105°C, the one on micron drive is up to 125°C.
So perhaps just coincidence or perhaps there was a reason for that

There's way less power circuitry in that p4510, and the VRM(s) and important inductors have thermal material on them, both more in line with what I would have expected from an SSD.

Yep, designed with 1U air suckers in mind. Great for servers, headache in any desktop

Good one! Although I never hear any of that in my setup.

Works perfectly fine here.

yes, it works now

Any chance someone still has and can reshare the firmware files above?

 

[warlord1312]

For anyone still looking for the firmware I can confirm that the following link works: Firmware Micron 9200 CD/USB 101008T0

How are these holding up for everyone? I've ordered one of these before finding this thread and now I think I've made a mistake. Cooling on the underside is easy but internal airflow from front to back is something else. Perhaps if I mount it nose down for some stack effect...

 

[TRACKER]

Mine works fine for over the year already, keeping 60°C in idle and going up to 67 under load. The main issue with these is the cooling
I have it organized like this (pic below).

 

[warlord1312]

I had a RAID0 of 4 of them and 3 of them failed at the same time which was odd. The 4th is still working perfectly though. Weird thing is that I was able to upgrade the firmware on some of the failed ones but it did not help.

Overheat? Lightning strike? That is not the reliability we expect from typical enterprise hardware

 

[warlord1312]

No to overheating or lighting strike with 100% certainty.

I have it up and running. Updated firmware with:
sudo msecli -F -U micron-9200-fw-101008t0.tar -m ALL -n /dev/nvme0

....downloaded from the French site above.

Has multiple slots to (hopefully?) provide easy rollback:

sudo msecli -L -i -n /dev/nvme0

Device Name : /dev/nvme0
Active Slot : 2
Slot 1 : 101008S0 (Read-Only)
Slot 2 : 101008T0 (Read-Write)
Slot 3 : Empty (Read-Write)

Device Name : /dev/nvme0

Apparently the firmware process for the 9200 is different from other Micron drives (pg. 32).

Do these not support namespaces?

sudo nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 | grep nn
nn : 1
