M.2 NVMe SSD Offers Double the Capacity of
Other Drives, Meets Enterprise Data Center Performance Needs
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), today unveiled a
first-of-its kind, high-capacity drive that can help data centers
more easily accommodate exponential data growth, while still
maintaining high levels of computing power and performance. The two
terabyte (TB) version of its Nytro® XM1440 M.2 non-volatile memory
express (NVMe) Solid State Drive (SSD) is the highest-capacity,
enterprise-class M.2 NVMe SSD available today, making it well
suited for demanding enterprise applications that require fast data
access, capacity and processing.

As the latest addition to the Seagate Nytro SSD product line,
the 2TB Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD is designed to accelerate
enterprise data access, with twice the density of prior M.2 NVMe
environments. Optimized for read-intensive and mixed workloads, its
high capacity and small form factor are ideal for today’s cloud and
enterprise data center environments, where speed and processing
power in a small footprint are increasingly important. The drive
can help meet the needs of demanding enterprise applications
including online transaction processing, high-performance computing
and big data analytics. It also helps manage storage growth with
deduplication and compression, allowing data centers to easily
create more virtual machines instantly without having to add
additional servers — enabling today’s data centers to more easily
manage their ever-expanding storage growth.
“Data and time are money, and nowhere is this more apparent than
in today’s enterprises, which are grappling with how to accommodate
ever-increasing amounts of data without losing the ability to
quickly access and process it to continue deriving value,” said
Brett Pemble, Seagate’s general manager and vice president of SSD
products. “This latest version of the Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD is
the first of its kind and pushes the boundaries for enterprises, so
they don’t have to sacrifice speed for access and availability.
They can continue to scale operations in an efficient manner and
still get the most value from their data, but without the extra
overhead.”
With active power consumption of 7 watts — nearly half the power
consumption of similar performing drives available today — the 2TB
Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD can reach performance levels as high as
30,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS) per watt, enabling
high levels of computing in the smallest power envelope. And, the
drive’s flexible form factor means enterprises can easily bring
PCIe NVMe performance to their data centers without having to
overhaul their entire infrastructure.
The 2TB Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD has end-to-end data
protection, including low-density parity-check error correction and
RAISE™ technology, which delivers RAID-like data protection and
recovery from potentially catastrophic flash memory failures. The
drive also comes with a power loss data protection circuit to help
prevent data loss in the event of a power interruption.
The 2TB Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD will be available through
channel partners in November 2016.
For datacenters not yet prepared to utilize the new M.2
interface, this same solution is also available as the new Nytro
XP7102 PCIe NVMe Add-in Card, available through channel partners
now.
