Samsung Mass Produces PM1763 PCIe 6.0 SSDs for AI

Samsung Electronics began mass production of the PM1763, a PCIe 6.0-based enterprise solid-state drive designed for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing server environments. The drive is optimized for use in Nvidia's upcoming Vera Rubin AI platform, appearing alongside Samsung's HBM4 memory and SOCAMM2 modules.

Utilizing a 4-nanometer controller and 9th-generation V-NAND, the PM1763 is available in 4TB, 8TB, and 16TB capacities. The 16TB model delivers sequential read speeds up to 28,400 MB/s and write speeds up to 21,900 MB/s, more than doubling the performance of the previous PM1753 model. This speed allows a 40GB large language model to be transferred in roughly 1.4 seconds.

To manage intensive workloads, the drive features direct-to-chip liquid cooling and improves power efficiency by more than 1.8 times compared to its predecessor. Samsung also integrated post-quantum cryptography and the TEE Device Interface Security Protocol to protect virtualized data pathways and defend against quantum computing threats.

The mass production follows the product's initial disclosure at Nvidia's GTC 2026 conference in March. Jangseok Choi, Vice President and Head of Memory Product Planning, stated that the drive has completed validation for next-generation AI platforms.
