Exascend Expands 2.5-inch SATA SSD Line to 15.36TB Capacity

Exascend, a service-oriented provider of innovative storage and memory solutions, proudly announces the expansion of its 2.5-inch SATA SSD series - SA4, SI4, and SE4 - to an unprecedented 15.36 TB capacity. This advancement redefines the limits of SATA SSD storage, catering demanding applications like digital/network video recorders and media post-production.

The new 15.36 TB SSDs are engineered for efficiency across diverse environments. The SE4 series operates in standard temperatures from 0°C to 70°C, while the SA4 and SI4 series feature robust coatings for extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliability in both enterprise settings and harsh conditions.
Built with 3D TLC NAND Flash technology, Exascend's SATA SSDs employ direct write-to-TLC to maintain stable read and write performance, effectively mitigating performance drop-off when the SLC cache is exhausted. These SSDs boast high-density integration, with 16 NAND Flash ICs, each with 1 TB capacity, on a single PCB within a slim 7 mm housing. This design innovation not only maximizes storage density but also integrates hardware-based power loss protection (PLP), securing data even during unexpected power failures.

Exascend's proprietary SuperCruise technology further enhances write performance, while optional TCG Opal 2.01 encryption offers added data security. These features make the SA4, SI4, and SE4 series ideal upgrades from traditional HDDs, delivering superior performance and reliability.

For applications requiring higher endurance, the SATA SSDs are also available in pseudo SLC (pSLC) mode, supporting capacities up to 3.84 TB with an endurance rating of 5 DWPD.

Ah, enterprise gets all the good stuff.

"unprecedented 15.36 TB"

Geizhals shows 43 SSD drives with 16 TB or greater capacity. And I think this will still command enterprise prices, despite SATA format.

SATA drives command a premium as they are mostly used in systems that do not not have an NVMe backplane. The only reason to get one is if you have a legacy system that doesn't support PCIe based interfaces. Just as an example, you'll typically pay $800 for a SATA 7.36 / 8TB TLC drive as opposed to $550 for the same capacity with a u.2 interface.
