Storage works wonders byte after byte. It’s the power of PCIe 5.0
Data is growing exponentially and storage must adapt . It’s a trend that is demanding datacenter storage solutions that bring improvements in performance and capacity, while also addressing the challenges of space and power. Enter the PM9D3a, the industry’s fastest PCIe® 5.0 server SSD with an 8-channel controller supporting OCP Datacenter NVMe™ SSD Specification v2.5.
Speed doubled, adept at modern data challenges
The PM9D3a brings striking PCIe® 5.0 performance to modern datacenters, with sequential read/write speeds of up to 12,000MB/s and 6,200MB/s. These are 2x improvements over the PM9A3 predecessor — much more than just an incremental upgrade. And with random read/write speeds of up to 1,900~2,000K IOPS and 350K IOPS, the PM9D3a is ideally equipped to deal with dynamic workloads.
Keep it cool. But do it more.
Datacenters must operate 24 hours a day, carrying out computing operations and facility cooling that require considerable power. This has made power efficiency increasingly important, and it’s why the PM9D3a has been engineered to provide an approximately 1.8x improvement in power consumption over its predecessor. It’s a step forward that allows datacenters to process, store, and deliver data more effectively.
