Solidigm introduces D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 SSDs, featuring PCIe 5.0 technology and capacities up to 15.36TB. These drives offer enhanced performance for AI applications, with sequential read speeds up to 14,500 MB/s and improved energy efficiency compared to competitors.
Introduction to Solidigm’s Latest Innovation
Solidigm, a leading provider of innovative NAND-flash memory solutions, has announced the launch of its latest high-speed SSDs – the D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030. These new additions to the D7 product line are specifically designed to enhance AI workloads, offering significant advancements in storage technology aimed at optimizing performance for artificial intelligence applications.
Key Features and Capabilities
The new D7 SSDs, equipped with PCIe 5.0 technology, deliver unparalleled performance with sequential read speeds of up to 14,500 MB/s and write speeds of up to 9,300 MB/s for higher capacity models. These drives also boast random read performance reaching up to 3.1 million IOPS and random write performance up to 0.8 million IOPS. The D7-PS1010 is built for mixed workloads with a 1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) rating, while the D7-PS1030 is tailored for write-intensive workloads with a 3 DWPD rating[1][2][3].
Performance Benefits for AI and Data Centers
Solidigm’s new SSDs are engineered to accelerate a wide range of applications, including AI/ML, HPC (High-Performance Computing), databases, and general-purpose servers. The D7-PS1010, for instance, guarantees up to 90% IOPS consistency throughout its lifespan, ensuring reliable performance even under intensive workloads. Furthermore, the D7-PS1030 is optimized for write-centric tasks such as OLTP (Online Transaction Processing), metadata logging, and AI data ingestion[4][5].
Efficiency and Reliability
One of the standout features of these SSDs is their energy efficiency. The D7-PS1010 offers up to 70% better IOPS per watt compared to leading competitors, making it a cost-effective solution for data centers looking to improve operational efficiency without compromising performance. Both the D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 support U.2 and E3.S form factors, ensuring compatibility with both legacy and modern chassis designs, which maximizes their utility across various data center environments[6][7].
Strategic Vision and Market Impact
Greg Matson, Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning & Marketing at Solidigm, highlighted that these SSDs are meticulously engineered to meet the increasingly demanding IO requirements of modern workloads, including AI and ML. With capacities ranging up to 15.36 TB, these drives are set to play a crucial role in the next generation of AI data pipelines, providing up to 50% higher throughput in certain phases of data processing[8][9].
