Samsung sz985 800gb z-based

The arrival of NAND memory-based SSDs has been a revolution in computing but everything has an expiration date, as the years have passed we have become accustomed to the speed of SSDs and are already looking for faster options and More durable, that's where the Samsung SZ985 and its Z-NAND memory comes in.

Samsung SZ985, so will be the SSDs of the future

Z-NAND is a new memory technology from Samsung, it is actually an evolution of the current NAND to be able to compete with Optane from Intel. This new standard manages to improve speed and reduce latencies while also improving durability. This is why Z-NAND is intended to replace NAND in the future as all are advantages, at least on paper.

Samsung SZ985 is a new SSD disk that is based on Z-NAND memory and reaches a capacity of 800 GB, making it an excellent solution for large data centers and workstations that need a large storage capacity, with high speed. and reasonable prices. This new memory has been designed to offer ten times the reading performance of a V-NAND memory cell so the improvement is very great, the response time has also been greatly improved by reducing latency.

New data from the ZNAND confirm that it will be a tough rival of Optane

This 800GB Samsung SZ985 comes with a 1.5GB DDR4 cache and is capable of offering 750, 000 IOPS random read performance along with 170, 000 IOPS write and latency of just 16 microseconds. The durability is also beyond question, it is capable of holding 42 Petabytes of written data, which means filling the disk 30 times a day for five years.

There will also be a 240GB capacity version, both making use of a PCI Express card format with a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. Prices have not been announced.
