New PCI 5.0 SSD Released by The Samsung

Mar, 2022 - By WMR

The new SSD has the ability to data transfer at a speed of 13,000 mb/s.

The South Korean global electronics corporation, Samsung has released a glimpse of their new storage device, PCIe 5.0 SSD. The storage product shows that the data transfer speed will get double in upcoming years. This completely overthrows Moore’s Law. The storage device is designed to utilize for the initiative servers. The SSD has recorded its transferring speed up to 13,000 mb/s. the disk can operate on 2,500K input-output per second. These recorded results are almost double the results of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage drives.

The PCIe 5.0 keeps up to 32 Giga transmissions per second, twice of the PCIe 4.0 drive. To operate under this bandwidth, the company has designed a proprietary button and performed with an Intel processor. Director of Intel's Technology Initiatives, Jim Pappas stated that, with the alliance, both companies can resolve several technical problems come across with PCIe 5.0 during the initial designing phase.

Samsung posted about the SSD that the drive is supposed to minimize the operating cost of data servers. Along with that, the device will allow minimizing the carbon imprint of the servers. The new SSD drive provides a regular writing speed of 6,600 mb/s and an arbitrary writing speed of 250K input-output per second. This is almost twice the average results. This device provides an enhanced power efficiency of up to approximately 30%.

While PCIe 5.0 is nowadays unavoidable, the subsequent version is also coming soon. The Special Interest Group for PCI had revealed a PCI Express 6.0 characteristic that could raise to 256 Gb/s through 16 routes. This is almost double the speed of PCIe 5.0 and four times faster than the 4.0 spec.

The company is now under the phase of testing the PM1743 PCIe 5.0 SSD for the designated customer base. They have a goal to mass-produce the drives at the beginning of 2022. The company is supposed to launch this device in the upcoming CES 2022.
