PCIe Gen5 Performance
The Samsung PM1743 7.68TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD is designed to take advantage of next-generation PCIe Gen5 server platforms.
For the 7.68TB configuration, Samsung specifies sequential read performance of up to 14,000 MB/s and sequential write performance of up to 6,000 MB/s.
Random read performance reaches up to approximately 2.5 million IOPS, while random write performance reaches up to approximately 300,000 IOPS.
This makes PM1743 particularly suitable for workloads requiring extremely high read bandwidth and low-latency access to large datasets.
AI Server and GPU Infrastructure Applications
Typical applications include:
-
AI training servers
-
GPU computing clusters
-
Large language model infrastructure
-
High-performance computing
-
Enterprise databases
-
Cloud computing platforms
-
Virtualization environments
-
Distributed storage
-
Software-defined storage
-
Data analytics
-
Mission-critical enterprise systems
-
High-performance data centers
For AI infrastructure, the Samsung PM1743 7.68TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD can provide high-speed local or shared storage for training datasets, model checkpoints, inference data, application files, and other storage-intensive workloads.
High-Capacity PCIe Gen5 Storage
The 7.68TB capacity provides a strong balance between storage density and high PCIe Gen5 performance.
Compared with lower-capacity models, 7.68TB allows GPU servers and enterprise systems to store larger datasets locally while reducing the number of SSDs required to reach a target storage capacity.
This can improve storage density in AI servers, HPC nodes, database platforms, and enterprise storage systems.
Dual-Port Enterprise Reliability
One of the important enterprise features of PM1743 is dual-port operation.
The Samsung PM1743 7.68TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD can support redundant storage paths in compatible enterprise systems. If one data path becomes unavailable, the second path can help maintain access to the drive.
This capability is particularly valuable for mission-critical storage systems where continuous availability is important.
Enterprise Power Loss Protection
PM1743 incorporates enterprise Power Loss Protection to help protect in-flight data during unexpected power interruptions.
Combined with enterprise error correction, telemetry, and data protection capabilities, this makes the drive suitable for continuous data center operation.
Performance and Endurance
The 7.68TB PM1743 is rated at 1 DWPD over its enterprise endurance period.
This workload class is suitable for read-intensive and mainstream enterprise environments requiring very high read throughput combined with predictable write endurance.
For extremely write-intensive applications, a higher-DWPD enterprise SSD may be more appropriate.
