AI Data Centers Get Supercharged: Samsung's New SSD Arrives
15 Jul
Summary
- Samsung's PM1763 SSD targets AI data centers with record speeds.
- It boasts 28.4GB/s read and 21.9GB/s write speeds via PCIe 6.0.
- Consumer PCs cannot use this SSD due to form factor and interface.
Samsung has officially commenced mass production of its PM1763 Solid State Drive, a new flagship model specifically engineered for the demanding needs of AI data centers. This advanced SSD delivers impressive sequential read speeds of 28.4GB/s and write speeds of 21.9GB/s, thanks to its utilization of the cutting-edge PCIe 6.0 interface.
This remarkable performance is achieved through Samsung's 9th-generation V-NAND technology and a sophisticated 4nm controller. The drive significantly surpasses its predecessor, the PM1753, in both read and write capabilities. It also edges out competitors like Micron's 9650 in critical AI metrics, such as sequential read speed.
However, the PM1763 is strictly an enterprise-focused product. It employs an EDSFF-only form factor and requires PCIe 6.0 channels, hardware that is not yet available to the consumer market. This technological gap, coupled with anticipated high costs and ongoing NAND/DRAM shortages driven by AI demand, suggests that consumers will not see similar performance gains on their personal devices anytime soon.
