Overview
- Samsung disclosed Tuesday that it has begun mass production of the PM1763, a PCIe 6.0 enterprise SSD offered in 4TB, 8TB and 16TB capacities with the 16TB model rated up to 28,400 MB/s read and 21,900 MB/s write.
- Samsung says the PM1763 uses 9th‑generation V‑NAND and a new 4nm controller, is optimized for direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling, improves power efficiency by more than 1.8 times over its predecessor, and supports post‑quantum cryptography and TDISP security.
- Reporting indicates Samsung is supplying multiple layers of memory and storage for Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform, and Nvidia moved Vera Rubin to full‑scale production on June 1 with initial shipments expected in Q3 2026.
- Market data show Samsung held roughly 35% of the enterprise SSD market in Q1 2026 while the segment posted record revenue, which analysts say raises the risk that large Vera Rubin deployments could tighten NAND capacity and affect pricing.
- Datacenter operators stand to gain lower latency and faster model loads from higher‑throughput SSDs but should watch for supplier execution risks, higher flash costs, and shifts in procurement as platforms like Vera Rubin scale.
