Wow.! Samsung crams 30TB of SSD into a single 2.5-inch drive

**Neo** · 21-02-2018, 12:50 PM

If you need to pack more storage into your enterprise systems, then boy has Samsung got the SSD for you. The new PM1643 boasts a capacity of 30.72TB in a standard 2.5-inch drive.

On the inside, the drive has nine flash controllers driving 32 1TB packages of NAND flash, with each package containing 16 layers of 512Gb 3-bit-per-cell V-NAND. There's also 40GB of DDR4 RAM. The RAM is unusual, too; the 8Gb chips are built using Through Silicon Vias (TSVs), enabling them to be stacked vertically. They're assembled into 10 packages each of 4GB.

The drive uses a 12Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI interface. Samsung claims it can reach 400,000 read and 50,000 write random IOPS, with sequential read and write speeds of 2,100MB/s and 1,700MB/s, respectively.
Samsung rates the drive as supporting one full drive write per day over a five-year lifetime.

There's no information on price or availability just yet. Samsung says that it started making the drives in January and that it will follow the 30TB unit with 15.36TB, 7.68TB, 3.84TB, 1.92TB, 960GB, and 800GB versions.

Yep, the way things go.
I still have my first 5MB hardrive collecting dust on a shelf. Big clunky thing. Got some 128k ram modules too. And my Hercules graphics card.

**Luigi** · 21-02-2018, 01:08 PM

Can it mine?

**harrybarracuda** · 21-02-2018, 01:08 PM

40Gb of RAM that's almost as much as my laptop.

That's just what's incorporated into the SSD, not neccessarily what the complete device will have.

What do you mean "complete device"?

It's a disk.

Drive.
The SSD is not stand-alone. The laptop that it will be installed in, for example.

I doubt you'll be seeing these in a laptop any time soon.
They are enterprise grade devices, so they'll likely just be one of many drives built into a larger array.

Something like this: They start at around USD18,000 for a minimum configuration.

OK. But their size would allow them to be installed in laptops.
My point being that they will go into some sort of device.

yes - or are you trying to defend a position that is rather precarious ?

Precarious? How so.
Harry made a comment implying the amount of RAM was small. I simply reminded him that these drives will go into a device that will have RAM.
If I'm wrong on that, I'd be glad of some education on the matter.

I wasn't you fucking numpty.

How many laptops do you know that have 40Gb in them?

FFS I thought we were doing well getting shot of Buttplug.

Well, 32G is/was not unusual, so why shouldn't I believe yours has more?
I missed your sarcasm...so what?

Yeah, I think you missed a lot more than that.

**harrybarracuda** · 21-02-2018, 07:02 PM

We could back up our entire corporation on four of these and shove them in a safe offsite.

Disaster Recovery at its easiest.

Please educate me. I'm always willing to learn.
A comment by you about the amount of RAM, a comment by me about the device the drive will be fitted into...A comment by you about how many laptops have 40G...
Do tell more. A lot more, apparently.

Let us just settle for the fact that it is a complete device.

Don't be doing a Buttplug now.
