ScaleFlux plans to launch ultra-large-capacity solid-state drives next year, with a single drive capable of achieving 256TB of compressed capacity

News from this site on March 29, according to foreign media TechRadar, enterprise-class storage manufacturer ScaleFlux plans to launch an ultra-large-capacity solid-state drive that supports data compression technology next year, which can store 256TB of data in a hard drive through 1:2 compression.

The largest capacity SSD currently from the original manufacturer is the Solidigm D5-P5336, this QLC-based enterprise-class hard drive offers 61.44TB capacity. On the other hand, Nimbus Data officially announced a 200TB solid-state drive in 2022.

ScaleFlux said that its ultra-large solid-state drive is based on the self-developed main control SFX 5016.

The main control integrates a hardware computing engine, which can realize data transparent compression similar to LTO linear open tape, can store up to 256TB of data in the flash memory with a native capacity of 128TB.

Compared with the 256TB native capacity solid-state drive expected to arrive in 2026, ScaleFlux said its solution was launched earlier and at a relatively lower price.

This site organizes the main control parameters of SFX 5016 as follows:

Supports PCIe Gen5 and NVMe 2.0 protocols;

Can be configured with up to 128GB external DRAM cache;

7nm process 16-channel design, energy efficiency improved by 3 times compared to the previous generation product;

Complies with OCP data center solid state drive specification version 2.0;

Maximum 14GB/s 129kB sequential read speed, maximum 11GB/s sequential write speed;

4K random read speed of up to 3200K IOPS;

Maximum 750K IOPS random write speed for non-compressible files, maximum 1500K IOPS for compressible files Random write speed.

The above is the detailed content of ScaleFlux plans to launch ultra-large-capacity solid-state drives next year, with a single drive capable of achieving 256TB of compressed capacity. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
