2. Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU)

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) is one of the best AI enabler stocks to buy now.

The latest AI infrastructure angle came on May 5, when Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) said it had started shipping its 245TB Micron 6600 ION SSD, which the company described as the world’s highest-capacity commercially available SSD. The drive is built for AI, cloud, enterprise, and hyperscale workloads, including next-generation AI data lakes and cloud-scale file and object storage. Micron said the 245TB 6600 ION E3.L requires 82% fewer racks than HDD-based deployments to achieve equivalent raw storage capacity, helping data centers store and process more data while reducing power and cooling demands.

The AI-enabler angle is that AI infrastructure doesn’t only need GPUs and HBM. It also needs dense, efficient storage for the enormous datasets used in training, inference pipelines, analytics, and object storage. Micron said its lab testing showed the 245TB 6600 ION delivered up to 84x better energy efficiency for AI workloads, 8.6x faster AI preprocessing, 3.4x better ingest throughput, and up to 29x lower latency versus HDD-based systems.

That gives Micron a broader role in the AI supply chain: memory and storage products that help data centers feed, move, and retain the data behind AI workloads.

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) develops memory and storage products, including DRAM, NAND, NOR, high-bandwidth memory, SSDs, and related solutions for data centers, AI infrastructure, mobile devices, PCs, automotive, industrial, and networking markets.
