Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, bring to view its largest 30.72 terabyte (TB) solid state drive (SSD) for use in in next-generation enterprise storage systems.
The 30.72TB SSD, dubbed the PM1643, is double the capacity of Samsung’s current 15.36TB SSD that it unveiled in March 2016. Not intended for consumer use, the new SSD is designed to meet the growing storage needs in a host of market segments, including the government, health and education markets, and others.
“With our launch of the 30.72TB SSD, we are once again shattering the enterprise storage capacity barrier, and in the process, opening up new horizons for ultra-high capacity storage systems worldwide,” said Jaesoo Han, Executive Vice President, Memory Sales & Marketing Team at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to move aggressively in meeting the shifting demand toward SSDs over 10TB and at the same time, accelerating adoption of our trail-blazing storage solutions in a new age of enterprise systems.”
Samsung claims the product is “the industry’s largest solid state drive (SSD)”. To make the breakthrough possible, Samsung used its V-NAND technology and 64-layer 3-bit 512-gigabit (Gb) chips. It combined 16 stacked layers of 512GB V-NAND chips into 1TB into “super-dense” 1TB packages, of which 32 were then combined into each 2.5-inch SSD form factor. This allows around 5,700 (5GB, Full HD) movie files and countless files to be stored on a single drive.

The new PM1643 SSD is based on a 12Gbps Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. The PM1643 sports random read and write speeds of up to 400,000 IOPS and READ MORE http://www.achcodetech.com/2018/02/samsung-worlds-largest-capacity-ssd-for.html
