SHANGHAI, MAY 6, 2026 — Today, the 2026 Global Digital Cooperation Exchange and Global Data Week Shanghai (Tech Week Shanghai) grandly opened at the Kerry Hotel Pudong. As a leading domestic enterprise-level SSD provider, Beijing Memblaze Technology Co., Ltd. (Memblaze) participated in this prestigious event, showcasing its PBlaze7 series PCIe 5.0 enterprise-level SSDs. With upgraded performance and energy efficiency, the showcase attracted numerous industry experts and guests, becoming a prominent highlight in the exhibition's storage track.
Currently, the center of gravity for global digital technology and AI development is rapidly shifting toward the Asia-Pacific region. As one of the fastest-growing markets for data centers and AI industries, China is becoming a key stage for global storage technology, driven by its massive data scale and active industrial ecosystem. Memblaze’s showcase of the PBlaze7 7940, PBlaze7 7A40, and PBlaze7 7A40 Ocean series demonstrates industry-leading metrics in capacity density, throughput, latency, efficiency, and reliability, underscoring the competitiveness of domestic storage in the high-end market:
As one of the world's first enterprise-level PCIe 5.0 SSDs, the PBlaze7 7940 has rapidly gained recognition from top-tier internet companies and cloud service providers globally due to its exceptional performance, flexible hardware configuration, and leading efficiency. It remains the best-selling model in the domestic PCIe 5.0 SSD market. Professional technical support and rigorous quality management have resulted in an annualized failure rate (AFR) of less than 0.06% and an equivalent MTBF of 1.5 million hours, setting a global benchmark for high-performance, high-reliability enterprise SSDs.
Utilizing next-generation NAND flash, the PBlaze7 7A40 offers capacities up to 30.72TB and achieves a superior balance between performance and power efficiency. Its sequential read/ write bandwidth reaches 14.2GB/s and 12GB/s respectively, while 4K random read/write performance hits 3,400K and 1,250K IOPS. With latency further reduced to 50/5μs, it more effectively supports critical AI scenarios such as KV Cache, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and Checkpointing, providing stable and efficient storage for I/O-intensive applications.
In response to the explosion of data scale, the PBlaze7 7A40 Ocean series achieves a massive single-drive capacity of 122.88TB. With 14.2GB/s bandwidth and 3,350K IOPS 4K random read performance, it perfectly aligns with the "read-heavy" nature of AI training and inference. Combining high density with high bandwidth, it not only reshapes data center storage efficiency but also transforms valuable rack space and power quotas into a "persistent engine" for computing power growth, ensuring the rapid iteration of AI models.
Through the international platform of the Global Digital Cooperation Exchange, Memblaze continues to demonstrate the innovative strength of Chinese storage technology. As AI accelerates the restructuring of various industries, storage is moving from the background to the center stage, becoming a decisive factor in computing efficiency and system performance. Facing the ongoing demand for high-performance, high-efficiency, and high-reliability storage, Memblaze will continue to deepen its innovation in storage technology, collaborating with global partners to build an open, efficient, and sustainable foundation for intelligent computing.
