The NVIDIA GB10-powered NVIDIA DGX Spark desktop AI supercomputer is enhanced by our PM9E1 SSD, the first PCIe 4TB Gen5 SSD in M.2 22×42 form format.
Ultra-fast yet space-efficient local storage is becoming more and more crucial as AI processing capabilities continue to advance toward on-device and desktop supercomputer applications. Samsung’s new breakthrough in AI-optimized storage devices pushes this point home.
The NVIDIA GB10-powered NVIDIA DGX Spark desktop AI supercomputer is enhanced by our PM9E1 SSD, the first PCIe 4TB Gen5 SSD in M.2 22×42 form format.
While AI accelerators allow systems to harness the vast power of AI, only when combined with performance-optimized, purpose-built storage technology, such as the Samsung PM9E1, can they provide the massive capacity and lblazing access speeds to unleash that power, which could result in the development of the most powerful AI apps of the future.
Power and performance redefined for AI
The Samsung PM9E1 boasts twice the performance characteristics with up to 45% enhanced power efficiency over previous generation devices.1
- Strategic hardware design with dual-sided PCB integration of 8th-generation 1Tb V-NAND and DRAM, enabling high capacity and consistent performance in a compact form factor
- Sequential Read and Write speeds of up to 14,500MB/s and 12,600MB/s
- Random Read and Write speeds of up to 2,000K IOPS and 2,640K IOPS
But what makes it AI-centric?
The immediacy of real-time processing and the ability to handle bulk data transfers rapidly are both necessary for AI processing. Not only must the storage system be able to handle both, but it must also be very good at both.
Built on 5nm Samsung Foundry technology, the PM9E1 employs an in-house “Presto” controller design with firmware tailored for NVIDIA CUDA?, DGX Spark OS software, and the entire AI user experience.
PM9E1 incorporates a full performance architecture with dedicated DRAM, enabling reliable high-speed data access and low-latency response even in the compact M.2 22×42 form factor.
This ensures responsive performance for time-sensitive AI operations by enabling the drive to effectively manage both massive sequential transfers and heavy random access patterns needed by AI workloads.
Built-in security for the AI era
If the transactions are susceptible to attacks, what good is exceptional performance?
Using significant AI processing power just to verify transaction security would be self-defeating.
The PM9E1 controller is validated to all the most recent security standards and supports secure channels, firmware attestation, and device authentication using the security protocol and data model (SPDM) v1.2.
The stringent degree of authentication and encryption support utilized for external communications is extended to the component data interchange level with this version of SPDM’s certificate-based security.
Qualified and in mass production for the recently introduced desktop AI Supercomputer: NVIDIA DGX Spark
The high-performance specifications of PM9E1, near bullet-proof operation and reliability, and transaction security support the requirements of NVIDIA DGX Spark desktop AI supercomputing.
SSD speed and capacity may be the stars of the show, but achieving these in a low-power and compact design is what enables an entire AI supercomputer to fit into such an appealing desktop package.
SSD power efficiency reduces thermal load, creating greater flexibility in system layout. The M.2 22×42 form factor brings the storage medium physically closer to compute resources, making the most of limited space while also allowing the fastest possible signal paths.
