Today Western Digital announced two new 96-layer 3D
flash NVMe SSD ranges in the form of the Ultrastar DC SN640 for either
mixed-use-case workloads and the Ultrastar DC SN340 for very read-intensive
applications.
The new SSD range is available in three form factors
and offers a broad range of capacity points, including:
- EDSFF E1.L with up to 30.72TB, designed to provide blazing speeds up to 720K random-read IOPS. This game-changing form factor is ideal for designing best petabyte/rack for new dense data-center designs.
- U.2 7mm with up to 7.68TB, a popular form factor for storage servers, virtualized environments, and containerized applications using denser, power-efficient blade systems.
- M.2 22×110 with up to 3.84TB for constrained spaces and OCP-compliant hardware.
