Samsung Electronics has started mass production of the PM1763 SSD, an enterprise PCIe 6.0 SSD designed for AI and high-performance computing server environments.
AI models are working with bigger datasets than ever, making fast and reliable storage increasingly important. The PM1763 is designed to keep up by combining high-speed data transfers with an optimized controller built for demanding AI workloads.
According to Jangseok Choi, Vice President and Head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, the PM1763 has completed validation for next-generation AI platforms and is ready to support the changing needs of AI infrastructure. He added that as AI models become larger and more complex, the drive will help customers scale memory capacity more efficiently while improving AI operations.
The PM1763 uses Samsung’s ninth-generation V-NAND memory alongside a newly developed 4-nanometer controller, delivering higher performance while improving power efficiency. It will be available in 4TB, 8TB, and 16TB capacities.
The 16TB model reaches sequential read speeds of up to 28,400 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 21,900 MB/s, more than doubling the performance of Samsung’s previous-generation PM1753. At those speeds, a 40GB large language model can be transferred in about 1.4 seconds, reducing data transfer delays between processors and accelerators.
Designed for liquid-cooled server environments, the PM1763 supports direct-to-chip cooling to maintain consistent performance during intensive workloads. Samsung says the drive is more than 1.8 times as power-efficient as the previous model, helping reduce datacenter operating costs.
The PM1763 also introduces stronger security features, including support for post-quantum cryptography and the TEE Device Interface Security Protocol. Together, these technologies are designed to protect against future quantum computing threats and secure data paths in virtualized environments.
