Overview
- Samsung began mass production of the PM1763 enterprise SSD on July 7, rolling out commercial volumes of its first PCIe 6.0 drive for AI and HPC servers.
- The PM1763 is offered in 4TB, 8TB and 16TB models and the 16TB delivers up to 28,400 MB/s read and 21,900 MB/s write speeds, which Samsung says can move a 40GB LLM in about 1.4 seconds.
- The drive is built for datacenters with direct-to-chip liquid cooling, roughly 1.8x better power efficiency versus the prior generation, and security features that include post-quantum cryptography and TEE Device Interface Security Protocol.
- Multiple outlets report Samsung is a mass-production supplier to Nvidia’s Vera Rubin stack across SSDs, SOCAMM2 modules and HBM4 memory, positioning the company to support Q3 2026 Vera Rubin shipments.
- Analysts say concentrated Vera Rubin demand could tighten global NAND supply and affect prices and competitors, and Samsung’s strong preliminary Q2 results heighten focus on the company’s ability to meet high-volume yields and delivery targets.
