Samsung PM1763 SSD Enters Mass Production With 28.4 GB/s Speeds for AI Servers

Samsung has started mass production of the PM1763, its first PCIe 6.0 enterprise SSD built for AI servers and high-performance computing. The new drive reaches sequential read speeds of up to 28,400 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 21,900 MB/s. Samsung pairs its latest ninth-generation V-NAND with a newly developed 4nm controller, delivering more than twice the sequential performance of the earlier PM1753 enterprise SSD.

The PM1763 is available in 4TB, 8TB, and 16TB capacities. Samsung has already completed validation for next-generation AI platforms, allowing server manufacturers to begin deploying the drive in new enterprise hardware. The SSD is intended for data centers, cloud services, research facilities, and high-performance computing environments where large amounts of data move between storage and processors every second.

Samsung shared an example to show the drive’s performance. The 16TB version can transfer a 40GB large language model in about 1.4 seconds. At its maximum read speed, a 100GB dataset can be transferred in roughly 3.5 seconds, reducing the time needed to load large files before processing begins.

The higher speed comes from three hardware changes. Samsung moved to the PCIe 6.0 interface, added its ninth-generation V-NAND memory, and built a new controller on a 4-nanometer process. Along with the higher transfer rate, Samsung reports more than 1.8 times better power efficiency than the PM1753. Lower power consumption can reduce electricity demand and cooling costs across large server deployments.

The PM1763 is prepared for servers that rely on direct-to-chip (D2C) liquid cooling. This cooling method removes heat directly from hardware inside the server, helping the SSD maintain high transfer speeds during long periods of continuous operation. As PCIe 6.0 storage becomes faster, efficient cooling plays a bigger role in keeping performance consistent.

Samsung has added several enterprise security technologies to the drive. The PM1763 supports Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), SPDM 1.4, CNSA 2.0, and TDISP, helping protect stored data and secure communication inside virtualized server environments.

The drive will be offered in E1.S, E3.S, and U.2 enterprise form factors. Samsung has indicated that future enterprise versions could reach capacities as high as 64TB, although the current production lineup starts with 4TB and goes up to 16TB.

Samsung has not announced pricing because the PM1763 is intended for enterprise customers rather than retail stores. The SSD will reach the market through server manufacturers and data center partners as new PCIe 6.0 platforms become available.
