The novelty, promising PCI Express 4.0 speeds and extending over 60 TB, comes as a competitor to last year’s dominant Solidigm D5-P5336.
Samsung recently announced a U.2 format SSD with a capacity of 61.44 TB, which works with 7th generation, 176 cell layer QLC NAND flash chips, and was named BM1743. The 0.26 DWPD certified solution can achieve sequential read/write speeds of up to 7.2/2 GB/s, while random disk operations can reach 1,600,000/110,000 IOPS.

There is also an E3.S version of the storage that uses an in-house controller, which supports the PCI Express 5.0 standard and triples the length of the one-day data retention of the BM1733 model, which debuted in 2020, when turned off. The manufacturer also added that a 122.88 TB version might be on the horizon for the product with questionable pricing.
