Samsung Starts PM1763 PCIe 6.0 SSD Production For AI Servers
Samsung has started mass production of the PM1763, a PCIe 6.0 enterprise SSD for AI and HPC servers with 28,400 MB/s sequential reads in a 16TB configuration, according to ServeTheHome. Customers, pricing, shipment volumes and server qualification dates remain outside the report.
Samsung PM1763 PCIe 6.0 Enterprise SSD Enters Production
Samsung has moved the Samsung PM1763 PCIe 6.0 enterprise SSD into mass production for AI and HPC server environments, according to ServeTheHome.
The hardware report described the drive as Samsung's first PCIe 6.0 enterprise SSD, with customer names, production volumes and server qualification dates still outside the public record.
The product arrives as server platforms begin to move from PCIe Gen5 to PCIe Gen6.
The report linked the timing to upcoming high-speed server platforms, including NVIDIA Vera and AMD EPYC Venice, where storage devices need the newer interface to match those systems.
16TB Configuration Lists 28,400 MB/s Reads
The PM1763 combines Samsung's 9th-generation V-NAND flash memory with a 4-nanometer controller developed for the new drive.
Sequential read speed is listed at up to 28,400 MB/s and sequential write speed at 21,900 MB/s in the 16TB configuration.
The performance is more than double the previous PM1753 model.
Samsung's own transfer claim was also framed around AI workload movement: Samsung claims the drive can transfer a 40GB large language model in about 1.4 seconds.
Those speed figures remain vendor-provided performance claims.
The public record still lacks third-party benchmark results, independent endurance testing, qualification results from a named server maker or customer-level latency measurements for AI clusters.
Capacities Stay Focused On In-Server Performance
The PM1763 ships in 4TB, 8TB and 16TB capacities, according to the report.
The capacity list points to performance-focused local storage, not high-capacity archive storage.
The drive is optimised for liquid cooling.
Newer AI servers were described as moving towards fully liquid-cooled racks, which means storage devices need orientations and designs that can fit those thermal systems.
The storage change follows the same hardware shift towards faster CPUs, accelerators and PCIe Gen6 server links, according to ServeTheHome.
Samsung also added security features to the PM1763, according to the report.
The SSD supports post-quantum cryptography algorithms and TEE Device Interface Security Protocol for securing data pathways in virtualised environments.
The protections are relevant because enterprise drives can remain deployed for extended periods.
Customer And Qualification Evidence Remains Open
The PM1763 gives Samsung a PCIe Gen6 storage part for AI and HPC servers at a moment when accelerators, CPUs and racks are moving to higher-speed interconnects.
The available evidence is still product-level, not deployment-level.
The public record still lacks Hyperscale customers, server OEM qualification dates, shipment volumes, pricing, endurance ratings, power figures and independent benchmark validation for the PM1763 the report.
