World’s Largest SSD, Know About It
World’s Largest SSD, Know About It – Nimbus has unveiled the world’s largest solid state drive (SSD) with a storage capacity of 100TB terabytes (TB).
Called PM1643, the SSD has the most amount of storage ever crammed into the 2.5-inch kit form.
According to Samsung, the SSD is designed for enterprise customers who want to move away from the standard disk-based hard drive. Here is more on it.
In comparison, Samsung’s 30.72TB monster, the MZILT30THMLA, retails for $8,860 ($288 per TB) while your cheapest SSD will retail for under $90, albeit with consumer-grade QLC NAND.
It can store 500 days of non-stop video
The PM1643 is made out of 32 sticks of 1 TB NAND flash packages, each of which has 16 layers of 512 GB V-NAND chips.
The SSD can store 5,700 HD movies, which can be roughly converted into 500 days of non-stop video.
It offers twice the capacity of its predecessor, the 15.36 TB enterprise SSD that was announced by Samsung in March 2016.
The SSD supports data retention and recovery from power failures
The SSD features impressive read and write speeds of up to 2,100MB/s and 1,700 MB/s, respectively. This is about three times faster than a standard SSD in a desktop or laptop.
The SSD supports metadata protection and data retention and recovery from sudden power failures.
Its error correction code (ECC) algorithm can reportedly ensure high reliability and minimal storage maintenance.
The target audience for this drive are outfitted looking for the highest storage density available on the market at any cost. The ExaDrive range has a five-year warranty, is guaranteed for unlimited drive writes per day during that period, and has a mean time between failures of 2.5 million hours.
The 100TB model has 5x more capacity than the largest hard disk drive on the market and 67% than the next largest solid-state drive, a 60TB Seagate SSD that was launched back in 2016. Very large capacity solid-state drives haven’t been flooding the market despite previous predictions.
Blame it on demand and supply as hyperscalers, web hosting companies and service providers are generally happy with hard disk drives and NAND manufacturers are just about keeping up with demand from other verticals (smartphones, laptops etc).
