Solidigm , a global leader in innovative NAND flash storage solutions, is proud to announce another industry-first quad-level cell (QLC) solid-state storage (SSD) drive for data centers – the Solidigm D5 – P5336 model. It is offered in capacities from 7.68TB up to 61.44TB and allows storing up to 6 times the amount of data in the same storage space compared to a hard disk drive array (HDD).
“The storage landscape is increasingly being shaped by modern workloads like AI and capabilities like 5G,” said Greg Matson, VP of Strategic Planning and Marketing at Solidigm. “Companies today need more storage space in more locations that is cost-effective, where enormous data sets can be stored efficiently and where accessing the data takes little time. The D5-P5336 ticks all three boxes — value, density, and performance. The economics of QLC are compelling — it can store 6x the amount of data compared to HDD and twice as much data as TLC SSDs, all in the same space and at TLC speeds.”

Designed to handle massive amounts of data from core to edge, the Solidigm D5-P5336’s read performance surpasses that of some of the latest cost-optimized triple-level cell (TLC) SSDs on the market today. 2 Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), content delivery networks, scale-out network attached storage (NAS), and object storage are all read-intensive loads with massive amounts of data, no matter where it resides.
Massive scalability and improved TCO across diverse configurations
“The durability and reliability of SSDs, especially QLC, has been debated for years, but now Solidigm may have ended the debate with the D5-P5336,” noted Avery Pham, VP Operations, VAST Data. “All sorts of applications will benefit significantly from these drives, from AI and machine learning to object storage.”
“It is now very clear that the key constraint for edge workloads is bandwidth rather than latency,” said Doug Emby, VP of Sales and Business Development at Cheetah RAID Storage. “Solidigm’s D5-P5336 QLC SSDs offer an impressive combination of capacity, performance and reliability in one solution to meet this challenge. The seamless integration of these Solidigm QLC SSDs with Cheetah’s high-performance servers is ideal for the efficient use of edge solutions.”
