Rather silly of them to hide investor relations material behind an anonymity-hostile CDN.

What is this thing that all pictures of new devices need to come with this black background?
The interface looks equiv to 4x PCIe 5.0.

> Sequential write (MB/s): 2,700
I look forward to have my favourite hyperscaler grant me 1000 "premium" IOPS per VM on this monster.
IOPS? This thing has slower IOPS than an old SATA SSD (~40k / QLC). I think it is meant for sequential operations only.
The same EBS GP3 used to be specified with 16K max IOPS at 16 KiB random transfers until pretty recently.
Can someone who knows explain what is the benefit of having all that data in one ssd instead of splitting it up into hundreds of individual drives? Does the single ssd benefit is more performance or does it really tuen out to be cheaper than hundreds of individual drives?
I checked the specs here: https://www.micron.com/content/dam/micron/global/public/prod... The interface looks equiv to 4x PCIe 5.0. > Sequential read (MB/s): 13,700 > Sequential write (MB/s): 2,700 That is pretty awful write performance. Does anyone know more about this? I assume all of these hyperdense SSDs suffer from the same drawback. Also, I heard that the E3.L interface can support up to 16x lanes, but there ar…

It’s about density in a datacenter. With this you have 1PB in 4 drives, fitting in a 1u rack, which is just incredible. Also these drives don’t use regular SATA or SAS, they use PCIe, so these drives are also quite fast in comparison. Density has a power efficiency aspect as well both in just having fewer drives and requiring fewer servers to put drives into.
Very cool bit of tech.

Apparently TDP is 30 watts¹, according to the product brief. I would imagine it's a single PCB with flash chips on both sides then thermally bonded to the aluminum chassis. That should keep all chips at approximately the same temperature. On its own it could be easily air cooled, but with 24 in a 2U chassis you'll be having some decently hefty forced air over the drives. 1. For comparison, an HDD usually comes in aro…
It's not just a single PCB, but a sandwich of several.
