Samsung has kicked off mass production of its most advanced data center storage drives, built specifically for Nvidia’s Vera Rubin AI platform.
The Vera Rubin platform, which entered full-scale production on June 1, 2026, represents Nvidia’s next leap in AI compute. Initial shipments are expected to begin in Q3 2026. And Samsung just locked in a front-row seat as a critical supplier.
What Samsung is actually building
The star of the show is Samsung’s PM1763 SSD, a PCIe 6.0 drive that supports capacities up to 64TB. It uses 9th-generation TLC NAND and runs on a 4nm controller.
Samsung is also producing the PM1753 variant, which integrates with Nvidia’s BlueField-4 STX reference architecture. That architecture is purpose-built to optimize accelerated storage infrastructure for what the industry calls “agentic AI workloads,” particularly knowledge vector cache management.
