Solidigm and Phison almost simultaneously revealed upcoming data center PCIe SSDs with capacities exceeding 120TB on Thursday. The announcements come mere hours after Micron's 60TB PCIe Gen 5 SSD established a new precedent.
Micron claims that its 6550 ION is the world's first 60TB PCIe 5.0 SSD and thus the fastest drive with that capacity, with a sequential read speed of 12GB/s at 1.6 million IOPs. However, Phison's Pascari D205V holds 122.88TB – its real capacity despite being labeled as a 128TB drive – and reads at 14.6GB/s with 3 million IOPs.
