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, but it did not identify customers, production volumes or server qualification dates.

The product arrives as server platforms begin to move from PCIe Gen5 to PCIe Gen6.

ServeTheHome linked the timing to upcoming high-speed server platforms, including NVIDIA Vera and AMD EPYC Venice, and said storage devices need the newer interface to match those systems.

ServeTheHome Lists 28,400 MB/s Reads For The 16TB Configuration

ServeTheHome reported that the PM1763 combines Samsung's 9th-generation V-NAND flash memory with a 4-nanometer controller developed for the new drive.

The report listed sequential read speed at up to 28,400 MB/s and sequential write speed at 21,900 MB/s in the 16TB configuration.

The same report said the performance is more than double the previous PM1753 model.

Samsung's own transfer claim was also framed around AI workload movement: the report said Samsung claims the drive can transfer a 40GB large language model in about 1.4 seconds.

Those speed figures remain vendor-provided performance claims.

ServeTheHome did not include 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

ServeTheHome said the PM1763 ships in 4TB, 8TB and 16TB capacities.

The capacity list points to performance-focused local storage, not high-capacity archive storage.

The report also said the drive is optimised for liquid cooling.

ServeTheHome described newer AI servers as moving towards fully liquid-cooled racks, which means storage devices need orientations and designs that can fit those thermal systems.

ServeTheHome said the storage change follows the same hardware shift towards faster CPUs, accelerators and PCIe Gen6 server links.

Samsung also added security features to the PM1763, according to the report.

ServeTheHome said the SSD supports post-quantum cryptography algorithms and TEE Device Interface Security Protocol for securing data pathways in virtualised environments.

The report said the protections are relevant because enterprise drives can remain deployed for extended periods.

Samsung Has Not Named Customers Or Qualification Dates

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.

ServeTheHome did not name hyperscale customers, server OEM qualification dates, shipment volumes, pricing, endurance ratings, power figures or independent benchmark validation for the PM1763.
