High Capacity NVMe SSD and Disaggregated Storage Architecture

As cloud and scale-out data centers have become more and more disaggregated, storage has been able to scale independently from compute, giving businesses elasticity during peak demands while avoiding data silos and improving TCO.

Disaggregating storage is ideal for cloud service providers. It offers a variety of storage services that combine to deliver a higher quality-of-service, improved performance consistency, and higher storage utilization. For scale-out data center customers, disaggregated storage provides managed service providers to effi ciently increase capacity for modern applications processing large unstructured datasets. As workloads grow to petabytes, high capacity, cost-optimized storage SSDs have an increasingly important role to play. The Ultrastar DC SN650 NVMe SSD can reduce those time-to-insights.

PCIe Gen 4.0

The new Ultrastar DC SN650 NVMe SSD includes the next generation Western Digital controller, PCIe Gen 4.0 interface, and Western Digital BiCS5 TLC 3D NAND.

BiCS5 TLC 3D NAND, with higher bit density per mm2, is the next generation of 3D NAND driving higher capacities, up to 15.36TB1. With the latest PCIe Generation 4.0, the Ultrastar DC SN650 enables performance at scale for increasingly larger application workloads. Designed and built for the standard 2.5” SSD storage infrastructure, it includes support for U.2 and U.3 backplanes.
