Samsung starts PM1763 enterprise SSD production for AI servers

Samsung is moving its PM1763 enterprise SSD into mass production for AI and high-performance computing servers. The drive uses Samsung's 9th-generation V-NAND and a 4nm controller, and it is offered in 4TB, 8TB, and 16TB capacities. The product is aimed at the storage bottleneck around AI training and inference. Samsung says the 16TB model reaches sequential reads of up to 28,400 MB/s and sequential writes of up to 21,900 MB/s, with performance and power-efficiency gains over PM1753. The drive is also designed for liquid-cooled server environments and includes security features for virtualized and future quantum-risk scenarios. For memory markets, this is a premium NAND demand signal rather than a broad consumer SSD story. AI clusters are pulling storage vendors toward faster enterprise SSDs that sit closer to accelerators and CPUs. Mass production of a PCIe 6.0 eSSD gives Samsung another high-value outlet for advanced V-NAND as data-center buyers scale AI infrastructure.
