- Phison Announces 122.88TB Pascari D205V PCIe Gen5 SSD
- Delivers 14,600 MB/s reads, 3,200 MB/s writes
- Includes power loss protection, 128 namespaces, 2.5 million hour MTBF
Phison has announced the Pascari D205V SSD, the first data center-class PCIe Gen5 SSD with a massive 122.88TB capacity.
The drive, which will be on display at SC24, is designed to address the growing demands of modern data centres, where growing data volumes require efficient storage solutions. It is designed for high-demand environments, including artificial intelligence, media, entertainment, and research.
The D205V is equipped with PCIe 5.0×4 (single port) or PCIe 5.0 2×2 (dual port) connectivity and supports NVMe 2.0, ISE, TCG Opal and NVMe-MI standards. It also features power loss protection (PLP), 128 namespaces, and a durability rating of 0.3 DWPD, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours.
U.2 and E3.L form factors
The new drive offers 122.88TB of usable storage, providing a four-to-one capacity advantage over traditional cold storage drives. Phison says the D205V combines the company's industry-leading The drive also supports random read performance of up to 3,000,000 IOPS (4K) and random write performance of up to 35,000 IOPS (16K).
The Pascari D205V is available for pre-order and is expected to ship in the second quarter of 2025. It will be offered in U.2 and E3.L form factors. There is no information on prices at the moment.
“With the acceleration of AI training and data-intensive workloads, there has been a tangible shift toward a future focus on storage as a critical component to capturing the volume needed to support data quality and integrity,” said Michael Wu, CEO and President of Phison United States.
“With today's launch, each unit maximizes capacity while reducing power, space and cooling limitations to minimize bottlenecks in transformative use cases. Essentially, customers can overcome previous infrastructure barriers to continue scaling as the market demands.
The drive's improved capacity per watt and support for larger data sets make it a good choice for organizations looking to scale their infrastructure while maintaining cost efficiency and minimizing footprint.
