SEOUL, KOREA - Samsung Electronics expanded the lineup of corporate server SSDs that are based on 3D Vertical NAND flash memory chips. The company announced on September 25 that it started mass-production of card type 3.2-TB NVMe SSD (SM1715) from this month.
The product, based on V NAND flash, is a card-type model that features faster data transmission speed. Its capacity is two times higher than that of existing 1.6-TB 2.5-inch SSD (XS1715).
NVMe (Non Volatile Memory express) is a high-speed data transmission standard that is developed to ensure maximum use of SSD, instead of the existing SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) standard which is optimized for HDD.
Compared to SATA SSD, SM1715 has five times faster continuous read performance (3,000MB) and seven times faster random read performance (750,000 IOPS).
With this new model, Samsung Electronics expanded its VAND SSD lineup from SATA SSD (used for PCs and data centers) toward ultrahigh-speed NVMe SSD (used for premium corporate servers).
