Solidigm™ D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 SSDs are built to turbocharge
demanding modern workloads and power the most performance-critical
stages of the AI data pipeline
Today, Solidigm, a leading provider of innovative NAND flash
memory solutions, announced the launch of the SolidigmTM D7-PS1010
and D7-PS1030 data center solid-state drives (SSDs). As the fastest
PCIe 5.0 SSDs1 shipping in volume today, these drives are well
suited for the IO intensity found in modern mainstream, mixed, and
write-centric workloads.
“The Solidigm D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 SSDs were meticulously
engineered to meet the increasingly demanding IO requirements
across a range of workloads such as general-purpose servers, OLTP,
server-based storage, decision support systems and AI/ML,” said
Greg Matson, Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning and
Marketing at Solidigm. “In a world where every watt counts, these
drives are PCIe 5.0 done right, not only delivering
industry-leading four-corner performance,2 but also up to 70%
better energy efficiency compared to similar drives by other
manufacturers.3”
Available in E3.S and U.2 form factors, the newest Solidigm SSDs
come in a range of capacities and endurance options and are a
strong extension to the company’s portfolio of best-in-industry
storage for AI.
D7-PS1010
A standard endurance (SE) drive, the Solidigm D7-PS1010 is
available in 1.92TB, 3.84TB, 7.68TB, and 15.36TB capacities. Over a
5-year period, the SE models provide 1.0 drive writes per day
(DWPD) and boast substantial maximum lifetime program/erase cycles,
with 28 petabytes written (PBW) for the 15.36TB variant. In
server-based storage solutions, the D7-PS1010 can accelerate
sequential write throughput up to 37 percent faster than drives
with similar specifications.4 Offering a balance of performance and
capacity, this drive is ideal for a wide range of mainstream
applications.
D7-PS1030
A mid-endurance (ME) drive, the Solidigm D7-PS1030 is available
in 1.6TB, 3.2TB, 6.4TB, and 12.8TB capacities and offers an
impressive 70 PBW for the 12.8TB variant. When placed in an
all-flash performance tier for AI workloads, the D7-PS1030 helps
overcome hard disk drive (HDD) performance, endurance, and
reliability limitations. With write performance more than double
that of the previous generation Solidigm drive,5 the D7-PS1030 is
particularly suited for operations requiring write-intensive usages
such as caching and checkpointing.
The new drives are built to excel at every stage of the AI data
pipeline and deliver up to 50 percent higher throughput in certain
pipeline phases6 compared to similar drives in their class. These
SSDs can be deployed as GPU direct attach drives in GPU servers or
as part of a high-performance all-flash tier supporting
lower-performing HDDs in network attach storage configurations.
“As AI workloads continue to surge, storage performance becomes
critical,” said Ace Stryker, Director of Market Development at
Solidigm. “The Solidigm D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 are a game-changer
for AI-driven enterprises, capable of outperforming competitors at
critical stages of the AI pipeline.”
With this launch, Solidigm continues its commitment to
delivering industry-leading quality and reliability. By employing
methodologies like testing to zero tolerance for data errors,7
built-in redundancies, enhanced power loss management, and
engineering for performance consistency over the life of the
drive,8 these SSDs far surpass required industry specifications and
common practices. Combined with new OCP-compliant thermal
management capabilities, and new security capabilities such as
secure boot and data at rest protection and attestation, the
D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 drives are designed to be deployed with
utmost confidence in cloud and enterprise usages.

8 Refer to SolidigmTM D7-PS1010 product specifications for IOPS
consistency. Solidigm expects up to 5% variation in throughput
between drive-to-drive runs. IOPS variability measured after
adjusting SSD cycle limit to simulate end of life behavior. Results
are estimated or simulated. Actual results may vary.
