Well it is, like we mentioned before this drive isn’t aimed at gamers or enthusiasts. A Samsung 30TB SSD Is aimed squarely at the top end of the enterprise market. the drive is equipped with Samsung’s latest V-NAND technology with 64-layer, 3-bit 512-gigabit (Gb) chips, the 30.72 terabyte (TB) drive delivers twice the capacity and performance of the previous 15.36TB high-capacity lineup introduced in March 2016.

The performance numbers are staggering with upto 4x performance over your standard 2.5" SSD.

The PM1643 is ready for whatever enterprise storage needs you have, performance levels have risen significantly and are nearly twice that of Samsung’s previous generation high-capacity SAS SSD. Based on a 12Gb/s SAS interface, the new PM1643 drive features random read and write speeds of up to 400,000 IOPS and 50,000 IOPS, and sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,100MB/s and 1,700 MB/s, respectively. These represent approximately four times the random read performance and three times the sequential read performance of a typical 2.5-inch SATA SSD.
