Samsung just released the world’s largest solid state drive (SSD) —the memory device comes with a whopping 30.72 terabytes of storage. It’s the most storage capacity ever crammed into the 2.5-inch form factor, and is meant and designed for users looking to upgrade from standard disk-based hard drive.

The new Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drive offers impressive sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,100MB/s and 1,700 MB/s. That’s about three times as fast as the average SATA SSD you’d find in a consumer desktop or laptop, like Samsung’s own SSD 850 EVO. And the drive is robust too, with Samsung offering a five-year warranty that’s good for one full drive write per day.

The PM1643 is built from 32 sticks of 1TB NAND flash packages, each of which contains 16 layers of 512Gb V-NAND chips. That’s enough space to hold up to 5,700 HD movies or roughly 500 days of non-stop video, and offers twice the capacity of the former largest SSD — a 16 terabyte drive also released by Samsung back in March 2016. (Seagate has made a bigger 60 terabyte SSD, but that was in the more spacious 3.5-inch form factor, and was “demonstration technology” that doesn’t seem to have ever gone on sale).

When exactly the PM1643 will go on sale and for how much isn’t known, but Samsung says now it’s got this form factor settled it’ll expand its range of SAS SSDs later this year, with 16.36TB, 7.68TB, 3.84TB, 1.92TB, 960GB, and 800GB versions to come. As Samsung executive VP of memory sales Jaesoo Han said in a press statement, the company will “continue to move aggressively in meeting the shifting demand toward SSDs over 10TB.”

Good innovation

I've always told people that the future of storage is about to get naughty... "imagine running an entire OS from a remote location". All what your computer will carry will be screen +Processor...

The day wey village people will go to that location ehn

The locations are mirrored across several locations though.

I cannot comprehend why people still prefer hard disk drives to the solid state drive. innovations like these will mean nothing to them.

it's because of the price. When Samsung 15tb ssd first came out, it was selling for $10,000 that's 3.6 million Naira. Imagine how much this would cost
