Non-volatile memory Express (NVMe) is PCIe high-performance SSD technology that provides high I/O throughput and low latency. NVMe interfaces remove SAS/SATA bottlenecks and unleash all of the capabilities of contemporary NAND flash memory. Each of the PM1743 SSDs have direct PCIe 5.0 x4 connection, which provides at significantly greater bandwidth and lower latency than SATA/SAS-based SSD solutions. NVMe drives are also optimized for heavy multi-threaded workloads by using internal parallelism and many other improvements, such as enlarged I/O queues.
Features
Advanced ECC Engine and End-to-End Data Protection
Read-intensive SSD from Samsung using TLC flash technology
Supports Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T).
Protect data integrity from unexpected power loss with Samsung's advanced power-loss protection architecture
Direct PCIe 5.0 x4 connection for each NVMe drive, resulting in up to 14 GBps overall throughput, compared to 7.5 GBps for a PCIe 4.0 connection.
V-NAND Machine Learning enables the SSD to accurately predict and verify cell characteristics, as well as detect any variations in circuit patterns.
Also supports PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 host connection for servers with 3rd, 2nd or 1st Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors or with PCIe 3.0/4.0 NVMe switch adapters
Fail-In-Place technology ensures the SSD operates normally even when errors occur at the chip level. It allows the SSD to identify failing NAND cells, and actually recover then relocate the data without interrupting normal operations or impacting performance.
Samsung’s SSD virtualization technology allows a single SSD to be subdivided into smaller SSDs, up to 64, providing independent virtual workspaces. It also enables SSDs to take on certain tasks typically carried out by the server CPUs, such as Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), requiring fewer server CPUs and SSDs.
