The development
What happened
Samsung says it has begun mass-producing PM1763, a PCIe 6.0 enterprise SSD built with ninth-generation V-NAND and a 4nm controller. The drive comes in 4TB, 8TB, and 16TB capacities. Samsung rates the 16TB model for sequential reads up to 28,400 MB/s and writes up to 21,900 MB/s, more than twice the performance of PM1753. The company also says power efficiency improves by more than 1.8 times. PM1763 supports direct-to-chip liquid-cooled servers, post-quantum cryptography algorithms, and TDISP for protected data paths in virtualized environments.
Why it matters
PCIe 6.0 storage can reduce the data-transfer bottleneck between processors, accelerators, and local storage in increasingly dense AI and HPC servers.
What the reporting establishes
- Samsung says PM1763 has entered mass production for AI and HPC server deployments.
- The drive is available in 4TB, 8TB, and 16TB capacities.
- Samsung rates the 16TB model for 28,400 MB/s reads and 21,900 MB/s writes.
- The drive is designed for direct-to-chip liquid-cooled server environments.
- Security support includes post-quantum cryptography algorithms and the TDISP protocol.
What remains unclear
- The performance and efficiency figures are Samsung claims; the supplied reporting does not include independent benchmark results.
- Pricing, general availability, and named customer deployments were not disclosed in the supplied sources.
