U.S. computing storage vendor NGD Systems announced that its newest Catalina-2 SSD has been shipped with a maximum capacity of 32TB.
There are two styles of this hard disk, The first is the PCI-E 3.0 x4 interface expansion card, capacity 4TB, 8TB, 16TB, 32TB.
The second is the 2.5-inch disk with U.2 interface. The system channel also takes the PCI-E 3.0 x4. The capacity is 4TB, 8TB, and 16TB. This is also the world's first 16TB ultra-large capacity, 2.5-inch SSD that supports NVMe 1.3 technology. .
If 48 hard disks are installed in a standard 2U server, the total capacity will reach an astonishing 768TB, and the power consumption of a single hard disk is only 12W (0.75W/TB), and the energy efficiency is also the highest in the industry.
Internal ARM core multi-core main control, support patented LDPC error correction technology, and support exclusive In-Situ Processing Computing Architecture , With new processing and hardware acceleration, data can be directly processed without transferring to main memory, which is more conducive to big data analysis and other AI-related applications.
However, it may be to achieve large capacity, and the performance is unbelievably low. There is no sense of SSD at all: Continuous reading and writing is only 250MB/s, 220MB/s, random read/write is 35000 IOPS, 24000 IOPS , random read and write commands delay 0.4 milliseconds, 0.1 milliseconds.
Since it is an enterprise-class product, the price has not been announced, but it must be astronomical. The warranty is three years.
