The Samsung MP9E1 Gen5 SSD is built with eighth-generation V-NAND technology, offering better efficiency and performance than its predecessor.
Samsung's MP9E1 is a Gen5 SSD, offering Read & Write speeds of 14.5 GB/s and 13 GB/s Respectively
The leading memory and storage manufacturer, Samsung, has commenced the mass production of MP9E1 SSD. The MP9E1 SSD is the fastest storage drive from the company, built on an in-house 5 nm controller, and uses 8th gen V-NAND to reach incredibly high sequential read/write speed and power efficiency.
As published in the latest blog, Samsung claims that the MP9E1 Gen5 SSD can reach up to 14.5 GB/s Read and 13 GB/s of Write speeds. The 8th gen V-NAND (V8) used in the SSD is a TLC(Triple Level Cell) NAND with high density to deliver larger storage space in a small footprint. It's a high-performance vertical NAND that also excels in power efficiency compared to the previous generation V-NAND.
The Executive VP of Memory Product Planning at Samsung, YongCheol Bae said,
Our PM9E1 integrated with a 5 nm controller delivers industry-leading power efficiency and utmost performance validated by our key partners,...In the rapidly growing on-device AI era, Samsung's PM9E1 will offer a robust foundation for global customers to effectively plan their AI portfolios.
Through the eight-channel Gen5 interface, the PM9E1 can double the sq read/write speeds compared to the predecessors, enabling faster data transfer for both general work and data-intensive AI applications. The MP9E1 can transfer up to 14 GB of LLM to the DRAM in less than a second and offers improved efficiency, which is over 50% better than the predecessors. This not only reduces the overall power consumption but also increases the battery life of laptops.
The Samsung PM9E1 Gen5 SSD is available in various storage capacities such as 512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4TB. While 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB storage options will provide sufficient space for storing important files, apps, and games, the 4 TB one can allow storing data-heavy programs and large multimedia files and games.
The Samsung PM9E1 Gen5 SSD also carries strong security features such as Security Protocol and Data Model(SPDM) v1.2 to ensure the SSD can have a Secure Channel, Device Authentication, and Firmware Tampering Attestation to avoid forgery and manipulation attacks on the data during production or distribution.
Following the mass production of PM9E1, Samsung is also planning to expand its SSD catalog and has recently started mass-producing the latest and the fastest QLC 9th gen V-NAND for faster and more power-efficient storage solutions for PCs.
