Against the backdrop of booming computing and storage demands for AI data centers, leading storage provider Solidigm has officially unveiled two new enterprise-grade data center solid-state drives, the D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030. Featuring cutting-edge PCIe 5.0 high-speed transmission architecture, the two new SSDs are now in mass production and shipping. They are fully optimized to handle diverse data center workloads, including general-purpose operations, mixed workloads, and high-write-intensity scenarios. With refined hardware architecture and upgraded read-write algorithms, the new drives meet rigorous I/O requirements across general servers, OLTP transaction processing, enterprise server storage, decision support systems, as well as AI and machine learning workloads, delivering a brand-new storage upgrade solution for modern data centers.

D7-PS1010: Standard Endurance SSD with Superior Capacity and Throughput

The Solidigm D7-PS1010 is a standard-endurance data center SSD built for universal enterprise deployment. It offers four versatile capacity variants: 1.92TB, 3.84TB, 7.68TB and 15.36TB, catering to data deployment needs of different enterprise scales. Supporting full-drive daily write operations and equipped with optimized flash erase cycle technology, the 15.36TB top-tier model delivers an impressive total write endurance of 28PBW, ensuring outstanding long-term operational stability.

In terms of core performance, the D7-PS1010 outperforms mainstream competing products in the industry. It achieves up to 37% higher sequential write throughput in server storage scenarios, effectively reducing latency for large-scale data reading and writing and improving overall business operational efficiency. It serves as an ideal hardware option for conventional data center storage and daily steady workloads.

D7-PS1030: Mid-Tier Endurance Flagship Optimized for AI Write-Intensive Workloads

Positioned as a mid-endurance enterprise SSD, the Solidigm D7-PS1030 focuses on high-performance write capabilities, perfectly matching write-heavy business scenarios. It comes in four capacity specifications including 1.6TB, 3.2TB, 6.4TB and 12.8TB. The 12.8TB high-capacity version boasts a remarkable write endurance of 70PBW, surpassing most peer products in the same segment.

Delivering double the write performance of Solidigm’s previous-generation SSDs, the D7-PS1030 eliminates the inherent limitations of traditional mechanical hard drives in performance, service life and operational reliability. It is highly suitable for high-frequency write scenarios in AI data centers, such as cache acceleration and model training checkpoint storage. As the core hardware for all-flash performance layers in AI infrastructure, it guarantees stable and efficient operation of write-intensive workloads.

Enhanced Overall Performance for Full-Cycle AI Workload Adaptation

Solidigm has implemented targeted performance optimization for the D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 to accommodate complex read-write demands throughout the entire AI data processing workflow. Covering data collection, preprocessing, model training and inference deployment, the two new SSDs deliver up to 50% higher throughput than comparable market SSDs, significantly accelerating AI data processing efficiency and shortening task execution cycles.

The two drives support flexible and diversified deployment modes. They can be directly deployed on GPU servers as high-speed direct-attached cache drives, or combined with low-performance HDDs to build hybrid storage architectures. This solution enables high-performance all-flash data layers, balancing operational costs and storage efficiency to adapt to the deployment requirements of various AI computing clusters.

Innovative Technologies Empower Universal Cloud and Enterprise Deployment

As AI workloads continue to expand rapidly, storage performance, stability and security have become core bottlenecks restricting data center computing power release. Ace Stryker, Director of Market Development at Solidigm, stated that the launch of the D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 solves critical storage pain points for AI-driven enterprises. The two new SSDs deliver transformative performance upgrades in key data processing links, laying a solid storage foundation for the large-scale implementation of AI businesses.

Equipped with multiple self-developed core technologies, the D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 adopt precise data detection mechanisms, built-in redundant protection architecture and enhanced power-failure management strategies to maintain consistent performance throughout the product lifecycle, exceeding mainstream industry standards. Additionally, they support OCP-standard thermal management to adapt to heat dissipation requirements of high-density server racks, and integrate comprehensive security features including secure boot, static data encryption and hardware authentication, maximizing deployment security and compatibility.

With outstanding high performance, long-term stability and comprehensive security, the D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 are widely applicable to public clouds, private clouds and large-scale enterprise data centers. They provide reliable and robust storage support for AI computing scheduling, core enterprise data storage and high-frequency business operations.
