INTEL Solidigm SSD SBFPFWBV0P12001 D5-P5336 122.88TB E1.L 9.5mm PCIe4.0x4 3D5 QLC

The World's Highest Capacity PCIe SSD

The SolidigmTM D5-P5336 is built to improve power and space efficiency for critical IT infrastructure, meeting challenges from the data center core to the edge.

The SolidigmTM D5-P5336 is part of the fourth generation of QLC SSDs from Solidigm, delivering industry-leading power and space efficiency to optimize your storage subsystem for AI- and data-intensive workloads.

Combining read performance exceeding that of some cost-optimized TLC SSDs with capacities up to 122.88TB,1 the D5-P5336 has been architected to efficiently accelerate and scale with the increasingly massive datasets found in widely deployed, modern read-intensive workloads, while increasing storage density, infrastructure efficiency, and enabling a more sustainable storage infrastructure.

Storage Density Matters

Widely adopted modern workloads are becoming even more data hungry. The size of datasets used to train language models doubles approximately every eight months.2 Many streaming services are shifting from limited paid-for capacity to unlimited free capacity.3 With connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices projected to reach 40B by 2030,4 there is no end in sight to unabated growth in data-rich services and applications.

Accompanying this trend is the decentralization of compute and storage to the edge to improve service levels, reduce costs, and improve agility. As recently as 2018, only 10% of enterprise-generated data was created and processed outside of traditional centralized data centers or cloud services. By 2025, Gartner expects 75% of that data to be created, processed, and stored at edge locations.5 Storage challenges such as space, power, cooling, and serviceability become even more acute when considering locality constraints at edge deployments.

Optimized Performance for Data-Intensive Workloads

Modern, data-hungry workloads such as data pipelines and data lakes for AI, machine learning (ML), big data analytics, content delivery network (CDN), scale-out NAS, object storage, and edge usages are increasingly concerned with storing and accessing vast amounts of data efficiently at speed. SolidigmTM D5-P5336 is optimized for both requirements, with read performance equivalent to TLC SSDs and capacities up to 4x higher than alternatives.

Storage Efficiency in the AI Era

The demand for AI compute is stretching the limits of energy grid outputs. Data center architects are scrambling to maximize space and power efficiency to the point where a decommissioned nuclear plant has been brought back to life to power a single data center.

SolidigmTM D5-P5336 provides a high-capacity solution to improve power efficiency for new AI datacenter builds. By comparing a network-attached hybrid storage solution, using a TLC performance tier and a hard disk drive (HDD) object tier, to a network-attached storage all-QLC tier, we see massive efficiency improvements for both space and power. Rack space is cut down from 9 racks to 1. By leveraging approximately 90% less storage power, data centers can efficiently power energy-hungry GPU servers and provide them with approximately 50% more compute.15 Solve the complicated infrastructure efficiency equations with the SolidigmTM D5-P5336.
