Samsung today unveiled the Samsung Data Center solid-state drive (SSD) lineup to address current and future trends in high performance computing storage in the big data era for small and medium businesses (SMBs).

Samsung's new family of Data Center SSD solutions, which consists of the 860 DCT, 883 DCT, 983 DCT and the 983 ZET, are engineered to meet the needs of SMBs, including faster performance, higher capacities, reliability and security.

Samsung claims that the new lineup delivers better Quality of Service (QoS) for SMBs by reducing latency and lowering data delays. The entire line provides enhanced reliability and endurance for 24/7 operation backed by a 5-year limited warranty and very high Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) ratings.

The SSD lineup includes the following solutions:

• The 860 DCT is designed for servers requiring SSD-levels of sustained performance and is suitable for read-intensive workloads. It allows for a lower TCO compared to hard disk drives (HDDs) and offers high capacities up to 3.84 TB. The 860 DCT is the perfect solution for content delivery network systems and comes with a 0.20 DWPD rating.
• The 883 DCT is designed for servers used to safeguard critical data, including power loss protection and end-to-end data protection. It offers a high QoS under the SATA interface and will be available in a number of capacities ranging from 240GB up to 3.84TB at a 0.8 DWPD rating.
• The 983 DCT is a high-performance solution for servers using an NVMe interface, which allows for very high speeds and high responsiveness. It comes in two form factors - U.2 and M.2 - and will deliver jaw-dropping sequential read/write speeds of up to 3,000/1,900 MB/s (U.2) and 3,000/1,400 MB/s (M.2). The 983 DCT is ideal for real-time big data analytics applications and comes with a 0.8 DWPD rating.
• The 983 ZET is a cache memory solution that offers a new level of performance with ultra-low latency, high level of QoS, high speeds and high reliability. It is a storage solution for NoSQL DB such as application workload case, and it comes with a 10 DWPD rating.
