The new SSD from Samsung has lost performance - Hardware.no

Samsung’s new SSD is amazingly fast, and intended for the business market.

Exceeds the most on the market.

Samsung has established itself as a strong and popular player in the SSD market, and yesterday they launched a new and nice model for people under the name 840 Evo. It is very fast, comes with high capacity and what looks to be a nice Norwegian price.

be careful shadow set by another beast of an SSD Samsung introduced, namely business model is far less sounding name NVMe XS1715.

Extreme Performance

Normal users will certainly have no use for it, as it is solely mint tea on servers and extra powerful workstations in corporate environments. Anyway it’s not going to get away from that Samsung has got a lot of exciting with this bugger.

XS1715 can actually boast a reading performance at the 3000 megabytes every second – about six times as much as most SSDs and twice as much as the OCZ RevoDrive.

Some write performance is not, but Samsung said that it will handle up to 740,000 IOPS, ie operations per second. This is a value which is about 8 times higher than what people model 840 Evo sets with.

will be available in capacities of adults, respectively, 400 GB, 800 GB and one on the 1600 GB if you are really hungry. As the first of its kind, Samsung has managed to pack both the high performance and high capacity in a 2.5-inch format.

Applies completely new interface

NVMe-interface. NVMe- interface.

An SSD moves over 3,000 megabytes per second is not an everyday occurrence, and is simply not possible with the normal SATA standards. Although completely normal SSDs with read performance of around 550 MB / s have zero problem with blowing SATA 6 Gbit / s interface, which is the fastest you have in your machine.

Samsung has therefore adopted the PCIe interface, the usual channel video card uses to talk to maskinen.Men the new SSD RevoDrive is not the type that you physically cramming into a PCIe connector. It looks like a regular SSD and use the cable to communicate with your computer.

They have in fact adopted a relatively new contact that lives under the cryptic name of SFF-8639. It is pictured to the right, and is very simplified extension of the PCIe slot. The cable SSD access to PCIe 4x interface, which allows transfer performance of up to 4000 MB / s But proper controls in his system constitutes “NVMe » section of the name, when technology is referred to as NVM Express.

NVM is optimized and designed specifically for SSD solutions that will work with PCIe interface, and it is this that allows Samsung to create a powerful SSD. More information about the technology can be found on this page.

If you are the server park in the back to Samsung NVMe XS1715 be relevant, but what it will cost and when it will be available is not known. Cheap it certainly is not.
