V-Tech Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The ink has barely dried on Samsung's last SSD announcement and the South Korean manufacturer has already made it obsolete by orders of magnitude. This 2.5-inch enterprise-class SSD isn't for us regular Joes, but if you thought the company's EVO 840's 540MB/s was zippy, hold on to your desk chair. The newly announced NVMe SSD XS1715 reads data at a mind-numbing 3,000MB/s. Hitting these absurd numbers isn't without a caveat, though, as this SSD won't run on a SATA-6 port -- it requires a PCIe hook-up. When these speed demons do arrive, they'll be available in 400GB, 800GB and 1.6TB sizes. Oh, and we want one. For business. http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/18/samsung-enterprise-ssd-NVMe-XS1715/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praetor Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well... with my sound card and gpu, sadly I'm out of PCIe ports on my desktop.... time to buy a new board then! and this will probably cost a leg and a arm (1,6GB SSD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phouchg Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 It's barely worth mentioning, methinks. See RevoDrive, which has been here for quite some time already and that's a consumer line, relatively cheap. Then there's enterprise cousin of RevoDrive - the Z-Drive, which actually came before consumers got hold of things and which supposedly does 2800 MB/s sequential. It's fairly bulky, that might be the only achievement of Samsung here - reducing the size of it, so more can be packed down the line. However, then there's enterprise heavyweights like FusionIO with, frankly, mental speeds of 6 GB/s write and 10 TB capacities, all within limits of a dual slot fansink graphics card.
