samsung: Samsung has teased a new PCIe 5.0 SSD with twice the performance of the PCIe 4.0

Samsung has teased its latest PCIe 5.0 SSD that claims to offer twice as much speed compared to the current generation and around 30% more power efficiency.
Dubbed as PM1743SSD, it is designed for enterprise servers and it claims to offer speeds up to 13,000MB/s. The company also claims that the SSD can handle input and output operations of up to 2500K per second (IOPS), almost double what PCIe 4.0 can handle.
According to Samsung, the PCIe 5.0 offers a bandwidth of 32 Giga transfers per second (GT/s), doubling that of PCIe 4.0. The SSD uses a proprietary controller designed to support the latest PCIe standard.
Apart from that, the SSD is rated to deliver sequential write speeds of 6,600MB/s and a rundown write speed of 250K IOPS, which is again around twice as much performance as the PCIe 4.0.
In addition, the new SSD can provide improved power efficiency of up to 608 MB/s per watt, which represents about a 30% boost over the previous generation. According to the company, this is expected to lower server and data centre operating costs significantly, while also helping to reduce their carbon footprint.
The SSD is available in a variety of capacities from 1.92 terabytes (TB) to 15.36TB, the PM1743 will be offered in the conventional 2.5-inch form factor, as well as in a 3-inch EDSFF (E3.S)
