Seagate demonstrates 64TB NVMe SSD with 13GB/s maximum throughput.

Seagate has demonstrated a prototype NVMe SSD with a capacity of 64TB and a maximum throughput of 13 GB/s. The drive consists of eight M.2 SSDs in RAID, on a single PCIe card, and multiple high performance controllers.

Samples of products that use the same technology are expected for the second half of 2018. Today’s demonstrated SSD is part of Seagate’s high-performance Nytro series and the SSD uses technology that’s also used in the last year introduced Nytro XP 7200 SSDs. These drives are single PCIe x16 cards with four M.2. connectors and they are able to achieve throughputs of 10 GB/s and capacities of up to 7.7 TB.

Today’s prototype is able to achieve a maximum throughput of 13GB/s and will become available in capacities up to 64TB. Because Seagate reports the 64TB drive is made up of 8 M.2 SSDs, it appears the company has 8TB M.2. in the works.

Micron announces 9200 Series of NVMe high-end enterprise SSDs.

Micron today introduced its 9200 Series of NVMe SSDs, the company’s latest high-end enterprise series. The drives combine the cost-effective capacity of 3D NAND with the throughput and response time of the NVM Express (NVMe) protocol. With the Micron 9200, Micron becomes the first manufacturer to ship a greater-than-10TB NVMe SSD.

Each variant is available in a U.2 and HHHL form-factor of which the latter always connects to the rest of the system through the PCIe Gen 3 x8 interface. The U.2 version of the ECO and PRO variant uses the PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe interface.

Micron 9200 SSDs are expected to be generally available at the end of August 2017 from leading distributors.

Considering how these companies are still slowly milking the Enterprise markets, it looks like it is going to be several decades more before these reach or exceed price/capacity parity with mechanical drives and are available to consumers.

Although this would be awesome for work I expect $2 to $3 per GB so way way way out of my price range..

Here is a link to the Official Press Release story.

Oh and a link to the Prototype Image as well, if anyone would like to take a peek.

As the timeline stands right now, customer samples of the drive are anticipated to go out in the first half of 2018.
