SAN JOSE, CALIF.-- April 27, 2022 -- Today Solidigm is expanding its performance-optimized D7 Product Series with new solid-state storage drives (SSDs) — the D7-P5520 and the D7-P5620 — for data center and enterprise use. These drives are optimized for real-world compute and storage server workloads and are available in an extended range of form factors and capacities. They offer accelerated performance and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) by enabling a smaller storage footprint and lower power consumption.

The D7-P5520 (designed for read-intensive and light mixed workloads), and the D7-P5620 (designed for mixed workloads), are the first family of products being introduced by Solidigm, which launched as a standalone company in December 2021.

The D7 Series comprises the industry’s most advanced PCIe 4.0 SSD family of products given their capacity offerings, breadth of form factors and optimized performance capabilities. These SSDs are optimized for real-world workloads and reflect insights gained from deep technical engagements with leading cloud service providers, OEMs, and storage innovators. Designed and tested with zero tolerance for data errors, consistently durable IOPS and QoS, and with near-zero lifetime performance degradation, they can be deployed with the utmost confidence.

“Our deep technical engagements spanning all industry segments give us unique customer insights to optimize our products,” said David Dixon, SVP and General Manager, Data Center, Solidigm. “The D7-P5520 and the D7-P5620 are the culmination of these insights and of multiple 3D NAND and PCIe 4.0 generations, which enable us to deliver a best-in-class offering and a new paradigm in solid-state storage.”

ByteDance partnered with Solidigm early in product development and qualified the D7-P5520 with outstanding results before live deployment in March 2022. The drives are delivering a breadth of capacity and performance improvements over prior generations, which has allowed them to boost performance by 33% with dramatic TCO improvement for database and cloud software-defined storage. The D7-P5520 will also be used in ByteDance’s public cloud services platform Volcano Engine.
