三星Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced its launch of the industry’s highest performing 24G SAS (SAS-4) SSD ― the PM1653. Based on the latest SAS interface, the new drive can support twice the speed of the previous 12G SAS-3 generation. The PM1653 is also the industry’s first 24G SAS SSD made with sixth-generation (1xx-layer) V-NAND chips, enabling storage capacities from 800GB to 30.72TB for advanced enterprise server systems.
“As the leading provider of SAS storage for a decade, Samsung has been offering the most advanced and reliable enterprise solutions in full support of the critical workloads of global server OEMs, governments and financial institutions. Samsung enterprise solutions are also accredited by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology for the most powerful data security,” said Kwangil Park, senior vice president of the Memory Product Planning Team at Samsung Electronics. “Like we have done with the PM1653, Samsung will continue to collaborate with our customers to accommodate the ever-growing demand of the enterprise server market for the most uncompromising offerings available.”
为了在整个企业市场构建强大的24G SAS生态系统，主机总线适配器（HBA）系统准备就是必不可少的。三星一直密切合作Broadcom，这是一个领先的HBA提供商，以确保对这个新的SAS里程碑无缝和及时过渡。
“Broadcom重视了24G SAS产品，如三星SSD PM1653将为企业服务器市场带来的创新，”Broadcom数据中心解决方案集团副总裁兼总经理Jas Tremblay表示。“PM1653 SSD和Broadcom的下一代SAS RAID产品的组合可提供高达5倍的RAID 5性能;这对满足24G生态系统的强烈需求至关重要。“
PM1653已针对高性能企业服务器进行优化，提供业界最高的随机读取速度 - 服务器存储性能的一个关键指标 - 最多800k的IOPS。其顺序读取速度可以达到4,300MB / s，这是24G SAS接口的最大可用速度，以及上一代PM1643A驱动器的速度的两倍。
利用其双端口系统，新的SSD将使企业服务器OEM根据其系统环境使用一个或两个端口的灵活性。即使一个端口在运行期间遇到故障时，也可以通过其他端口传输和访问数据，具有卓越的企业级可靠性。PM1653也能够支持24G和旧约12G SAS-3平台。
三星已经开始使用PM1653 SSD与选择客户一起抽样，并计划在今年下半年开始批量生产。
