Today, Solidigm, a leading provider of innovative NAND flash memory solutions, announced the launch of the Solidigm D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 data center solid-state drives (SSDs). As the fastest PCIe 5.0 SSDs shipping in volume today, these drives are well suited for the IO intensity found in modern mainstream, mixed, and write-centric workloads.
"The Solidigm D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 SSDs were meticulously engineered to meet the increasingly demanding IO requirements across a range of workloads such as general-purpose servers, OLTP, server-based storage, decision support systems and AI/ML," said Greg Matson, Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning and Marketing at Solidigm. "In a world where every watt counts, these drives are PCIe 5.0 done right, not only delivering industry-leading four-corner performance, but also up to 70% better energy efficiency compared to similar drives by other manufacturers."
Available in E3.S and U.2 form factors, the newest Solidigm SSDs come in a range of capacities and endurance options and are a strong extension to the company's portfolio of best-in-industry storage for AI.
D7-PS1010
A standard endurance (SE) drive, the Solidigm D7-PS1010 is available in 1.92 TB, 3.84 TB, 7.68 TB, and 15.36 TB capacities. Over a 5-year period, the SE models provide 1.0 drive writes per day (DWPD) and boast substantial maximum lifetime program/erase cycles, with 28 petabytes written (PBW) for the 15.36 TB variant. In server-based storage solutions, the D7-PS1010 can accelerate sequential write throughput up to 37 percent faster than drives with similar specifications. Offering a balance of performance and capacity, this drive is ideal for a wide range of mainstream applications.
D7-PS1030
A mid-endurance (ME) drive, the Solidigm D7-PS1030 is available in 1.6 TB, 3.2 TB, 6.4 TB, and 12.8 TB capacities and offers an impressive 70 PBW for the 12.8 TB variant. When placed in an all-flash performance tier for AI workloads, the D7-PS1030 helps overcome hard disk drive (HDD) performance, endurance, and reliability limitations. With write performance more than double that of the previous generation Solidigm drive, the D7-PS1030 is particularly suited for operations requiring write-intensive usages such as caching and checkpointing.
The new drives are built to excel at every stage of the AI data pipeline and deliver up to 50 percent higher throughput in certain pipeline phases compared to similar drives in their class. These SSDs can be deployed as GPU direct attach drives in GPU servers or as part of a high-performance all-flash tier supporting lower-performing HDDs in network attach storage configurations.
With this launch, Solidigm continues its commitment to delivering industry-leading quality and reliability. By employing methodologies like testing to zero tolerance for data errors, built-in redundancies, enhanced power loss management, and engineering for performance consistency over the life of the drive, these SSDs far surpass required industry specifications and common practices. Combined with new OCP-compliant thermal management capabilities, and new security capabilities such as secure boot and data at rest protection and attestation, the D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 drives are designed to be deployed with utmost confidence in cloud and enterprise usages.
