en.Wedoany.com Reported - Samsung Electronics has announced the start of mass production of the PM1763, a PCIe 6.0-based enterprise solid-state drive (SSD) optimized for next-generation AI and HPC server environments.
The volume of data required for AI training and inference continues to grow rapidly, and enterprise SSDs capable of fast and reliable data transfer are becoming an increasingly important component of AI infrastructure. With high-speed data transfer and an optimized controller architecture, the PM1763 is expected to serve as a key storage solution for high-performance AI platforms.
The PM1763 utilizes Samsung's ninth-generation V-NAND and a newly developed 4nm controller, significantly improving performance and energy efficiency. The drive is available in 4TB, 8TB, and 16TB capacity options, with the 16TB configuration delivering sequential read and write speeds of up to 28,400 MB/s and 21,900 MB/s, respectively—more than double the performance of its predecessor, the PM1753. This performance level enables the transfer of a 40GB large language model in approximately 1.4 seconds, helping to reduce data latency between processors and accelerators while improving overall AI processing efficiency.
The PM1763 is optimized for liquid-cooled server environments through direct chip-level (D2C) cooling technology, maintaining sustained peak performance even under intensive workloads and prolonged operation. Compared to the previous generation, energy efficiency has improved by more than 1.8 times, helping to reduce overall data center operating costs.
Samsung has also enhanced the security features of the PM1763. The drive supports Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms, designed to defend against future quantum computing threats, as well as the TEE Device Interface Security Protocol (TDISP), which helps protect data paths in virtualized environments.
"Based on industry-leading performance, the PM1763 has successfully completed validation for next-generation AI platforms and is fully capable of supporting evolving AI infrastructure needs," said Jangseok Choi, Vice President and Head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics. "As AI models continue to grow in scale and complexity, the PM1763 will become a key solution, enabling customers to efficiently scale memory capacity and optimize AI operations."
