- Solidigm’s 122.88TB SSD is efficient, dense, and now on sale
- The first review confirms strong performance in Reed-Havi Enterprise Storage Uses
- CSAL Tech removes QLC flash deficiencies for practical, high capacity deployment
The 122.88TB D5-P5336 Enterprise SSD of Solidigm was announced in November 2024 and has just gone on sale, priced at $ 12,399, predicting analysts less than $ 14,000.
Now the first full review of the 122.88TB animal of solidigom has arrived, and according to John Culter, Senior Hardware Editor TwwtownNot only in the scale, but also in performance, efficiency and practical deployment, the best SSD than publicity.
As Culter writes, “The D5-P5-P5336 122.88TB SSD of Solidigm is the highest in the enterprise scenarios.”
Benefits game
The drive based on QLC Nand is currently described as the most efficient high capacity SSD in circulation. This provides unprecedented storage density, allowing data centers to store up to 4 petabites per 1U server footprint per 1U server. It matters more than ever in an era where AI models datasets are doubling every eight months.
Twwtown The notes that are at the forefront of Solidigm QLC Flash Development and suggests that many general shortcomings of QLC, such as endurance and right performance, the driving’s sheer shape and Solidigm’s CSAL (catching SSD acceleration layer) are addressed by technology.
“As we see it, with the CSAL increase, all the shortcomings contained for the QLC arrays are completely disappeared and you are left with game changing benefits.”
The D5-P5336 reached 7,481MB/s in sequential reeds and 947,000 IOPS in 4K random reids during tests, more than both manufacturer specifications. “Factory Spec is up to 900k IOPS on QD256 here. We are receiving 947k IOPs in QD256 with our configuration,” report of coulter.
In practice, this level of performance is for high-length, reed-Haavi storage tier, not for a fast book transaction system. As Culter states, “This nature will rarely take charge, if ever, will be faced in the role of QLC SSD, then in storage tier.
In short, he concludes: “Because it distributes as advertised and then something, easily available, is supremely efficient, performs a lot for its intended roles, and 134 PBW is supported by 5-year-old warranty.
