Samsung's not just about mobile phones & galaxies. The Korean engineering team's shelling out innovations like a boss. The latest update from Samsung is about the industry first 2.5" NVMe SSD (Solid State Drive) that can read data at mind boggling speeds of 3000 MB/second. This SSD isn't for the regular Joes out there who love speed; but aimed at enterprise storage markets. Of course this SSD won't run on the SATA-6 port; but would need a PCIe to hook up to your system.

According to Samsung's latest press release, the newly developed 1.6 TB (NVMe) SSD provides sequential speeds of 3000 MB/s which means it can read about 500 GB of data in just under 3 minutes. Now that totally blows out the competition. Samsung says that it's 14x faster than the high-end enterprise HDD for server use and 6x faster than Samsung's own SSD storage.

For those who love the technical details - the XS1715's random read performance is 740,000 Input Output Operations Per Second (IOPS). Samsung says it's 10x the most high-end SSD storage option available in the market.

Once these drives hit the markets, they'll be available in 400, 800 and 1600 GB capacities. We've no idea about the price; but be aware that with speed comes the price.

    Samsung has made an huge and impressive solid state drive.After booming in mobile market,Samsung makes everyone to look on their performance and specification.
    Can Samsung increase the storage space as you have quoted that it produces 400 to 1600 gb,,?

    SSD won't run on SATA port, but will require PCIe port. But which version of PCI express port ? Will it support the old-school 1.0 ? Will it be back porting the old versions ?
    Sad thing is it consumes one PCIe slot. But as it will be used in servers, we need not to worry.
    3GB/s transfer speed is monster speed.

    The details of the PCIe support isn't available yet; but I think it'd definitely be on PCIe 4.0. I'm just shooting in the dark with those speculations ;-). I wonder if that would really make my 'Instant On' operating system dreams come true. I'm kinda happy that it's Samsung, not Apple 😁

    It won't in real world. You need an ideal semiconductor components & gates with no time delay. Alongwith the memory instructions which can execute entire program in 0 seconds, possible ?
    I don't think so.
