Extreme performance from an SSD technology leader
Maximize data transfer with the high-performance,
reliable PM1725a
Enterprise environments have unique requirements to ensure
that they operate optimally 24/7, 365 days a year. A varied level
of performance with low latency is essential.
It is also critical that these environments remain stable when
processing various read and write workloads. And the most
crucial criteria of all are protection from data corruption or loss
due to unexpected power outages.
Considering each of these factors, IT and data center managers
are tasked with nding high performing, dependable memory
solutions.
Samsung is well-equipped to offer enterprise environments
superb SSDs. The drives deliver exceptional performance in
multithread applications, such as compute and virtualization,
relational databases, and storage.
These high-performing SSDs also provide outstanding
reliability for continual operation regardless of unanticipated
power loss. Their reliability also extends to non-interrupt
service in case a failure occurs on one of the paths to a port.
Using its proven expertise and wealth of experience in cutting-
edge SSD technology, Samsung memory solutions helps data
centers operate continually at the highest performance levels.
Samsung has the added advantage of being the sole
manufacturer of all of its SSD components. This advantage
helps ensure end-to-end integration, quality assurance and the
utmost compatibility.
Samsung PM1725a NVMe SSD delivers:
• Exceptional value: The PM1725a utilizes Samsung V-NAND
ash memory, which features a unique design that stacks
48 layers on top of another. It also employs cost-effective
TLC (triple-level cell) ash memory, which delivers higher
reliability than MLC (multi-level cell) planar NAND ash
memory SSDs. With this architecture, the PM1725a can
deliver enterprise-level performance economically.
• Consistently high performance: The PM1725a HHHL (half-
height, half-length) card delivers a wide bandwidth of up
to 6,400/3,000 MB/s sequential R/W speeds respectively,
using under 23 W of power. It delivers up to 1,080K and
170K IOPS for random 4KB read and write, respectively.
The PM1725a 2.5-inch SSD delivers a bandwidth of up to
3,300/2,950 MB/s for sequential R/W and up to 800K/160K
IOPS for random 4KB R/W, respectively. The PM1725a
delivers QoS (quality of service, 99%) of 95μs for random
4KB reads and 60μs for random 4KB writes.
• Outstanding reliability: Even though the PM1725a employs
a TLC V-NAND ash memory, it boasts 5 DWPD (drive
writes per day) for 5 years. This rate translates to writing
a total of 32 TB each day during that time, which means
users can write 6,400 les of 5 GB-equivalent data every
day. This level of reliability is more than sufcient for
enterprise storage systems that have to perform ultrafast
transmissions of large amounts of data.
• High density: By tting more memory cells in less space
in a V-NAND chip, it provides signicantly more capacities
of up to 6.4 TB in both the PM1725a 2.5-inch and HHHL
card SSDs. Depending on your storage requirements and
applications, 800 GB, 1.6TB, 3.2 TB and 6.4 TB capacities are
available.
Optimized for enterprise environments
The Samsung PM1725a SSD is optimized to excel in virtually
any data center scenario. This enterprise-level, ultra-
high performance SSD provides unsurpassed random read
performance and is particularly suitable for read-intensive data
center applications. When compared with other standardized
Samsung SSDs, the PM1725a SSD provides the highest random
read IOPS performance.
The PM1725a is equipped with Samsung 3rd-generation TLC
V-NAND technology. This technology eliminates performance
and reliability issues that result from capacity limitations
found in planar NAND technologies.
The Samsung V-NAND technology delivers reliable and
consistent performance at lower costs for today's demanding
data-centric world.
Superb performance over SAS SSDs
The PM1725a uses a state-of-the-art NVMe interface to
overcome bottlenecks experienced in SAS (serial-attached
SCSI) and SATA interfaces. Furthermore, the PM1725a employs
the highest density to successfully process intensive and heavy
enterprise workloads.
