Product Launch: Solidigm D5-P5430 Data Centre SSD

Published 16 May 2023

Reduce TCO for your Mainstream and Read-Intensive Workloads

 

Hyper-dense PCIe 4.0 QLC SSDs with capacities up to 30.72 TB, engineered to deliver right-sized, TLC-level performance for mainstream, read-intensive workloads.

Data is growing at a rapid pace, testing the limits of data centres and storage scalability. Modern, data-intensive workloads and use cases such as AI, ML, content-delivery networks (CDNs), object-based storage, and data analytics require massive amounts of data to be stored efficiently and accessed at speed. These requirements have historically been viewed as a trade-off between performance and capacity: select SSDs when an application demands performance and choose HDDs when an application prioritizes capacity.

For many mainstream and read-intensive workloads, the Solidigm™ D5-P5430—with its blend of hyper-dense, affordable storage and high throughput—renders that trade-off moot. The D5-P5430 delivers TLC-like read performance with massive lifetime writes, on QLC economics, leading to reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and improved sustainability of data centre and edge infrastructures. Available in a broad range of form factors and capacities up to 30.72 TB, the D5-P5430 can be deployed in a wide array of 1U and 2U configurations.?

 

Efficiently scale capacity and performance

 

Mainstream workloads and use cases such as general purpose servers, object-based storage, and online analytical processing tend to cluster in the high-read, low-write mix ratio (e.g., 80/20), and because the mix of writes is relatively low, drives with sufficient petabytes written (PBW) can service these workloads. Read-intensive workloads such as CDNs, data pipelines, VoD services, and large, sequential databases cluster in the mostly-read-with-occasional-writes ratio (e.g., 90/10 or higher), and, like their mainstream counterparts, value high throughput.?

Engineered to deliver TLC-equivalent read performance and massive petabytes written, the D5-P5430 supports both mainstream and read-intensive workloads by providing unique density, efficiency, and serviceability advantages without sacrificing performance.?

When compared to widely adopted PCIe TLC SSDs, the D5-P5430 can support up to 4x more capacity in the same space while delivering equivalent read performance and up to 14% higher lifetime writes.
