Samsung’s New AI SSD Targets Faster Data Center Performance
On Tuesday, Samsung announced the start of mass production for the PM1763, its newest enterprise SSD designed for AI data centers.
The PM1763 is built on the PCIe 6.0 interface, which doubles data transfer bandwidth compared with PCIe 5.0.
Samsung said the 16TB model delivers sequential read speeds of up to 28,400 MB/s and write speeds of up to 21,900 MB/s—roughly twice the performance of its predecessor, the PM1753. The drive will be offered in 4TB, 8TB and 16TB capacities.
At Nvidia’s GTC 2026 conference in March, Samsung disclosed that it would provide HBM4 memory, SOCAMM2 modules and the PM1763 SSD for Vera Rubin, allowing it to supply a broad range of memory technologies for the AI platform.
