Samsung has launched an impressive 61.44TB SSD, aimed at data centers and enterprise applications. This SSD utilizes PCIe 3D QLC NAND technology, providing high storage density and efficient performance for read-intensive tasks.
The drive is part of Samsung’s efforts to deliver large-scale storage solutions that can replace traditional hard drives in environments requiring significant data storage and fast access times.
In addition to the 61.44TB model, Samsung is also planning a 122.88TB SSD, which would further push the boundaries of storage capacity. This move highlights the company’s commitment to advancing storage technology and addressing the growing data demands in various sectors, including AI, machine learning, and big data analytics.
The new 61.44TB SSD offers sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,000MB/s and 3,300MB/s, respectively. It is expected to be available in U.2 form factors, which are popular in data centers but less common in consumer markets. The expected endurance for these drives is around 0.58 drive writes per day (DWPD) over a five-year period, with a lifetime endurance of approximately 65.2 petabytes written (PBW).
