SINGAPORE, Oct 8-9, 2025 — Tech Week Singapore, one of Asia's most influential technology events, was held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre. As a global leader in enterprise-level PCIe SSD products and solutions, Beijing Memblaze Technology Co., Ltd. (Memblaze) showcased the latest members of its PBlaze7 7A40 series. Featuring higher performance, extreme capacity, and industry-leading energy efficiency, these drives provide powerful momentum for the rapid development of cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
As AI models continue to expand and cloud computing services accelerate, storage systems must handle both high-frequency random access and rapid transmission of massive datasets, placing increasingly stringent demands on performance.
Breakthrough Random Performance: After becoming the first in the industry to achieve a milestone of one million steady-state 4K random write IOPS, the new PBlaze7 7A40 SSD has refreshed this benchmark to 1.15 million IOPS.
Enhanced Read Performance: 4K random read performance has climbed to 3.4 million IOPS, better addressing the fragmented data access needs of AI inference and online services.
Sequential Bandwidth: The PBlaze7 7A40 delivers up to 14.2 GB/s read bandwidth and 12.7 GB/s write bandwidth, representing a further improvement over previous generations and ensuring efficient loading and writing for I/O-intensive workloads.
Energy Efficiency Benchmark: Under full bandwidth, average read power consumption is only 13W, with write power below 20W. The performance-per-watt is over 30% higher than comparable international brands.
Stability and Deployment: This efficiency reduces energy consumption in large-scale deployments and mitigates heat dissipation pressure in high-density scenarios, enhancing long-term data center stability.
Flexible Capacity: Available in capacities from 1.6TB to 15.36TB, helping customers achieve the optimal balance between performance, capacity, and cost.
To meet the rising demand for computing and storage density in global data centers, Memblaze introduced the Ocean series based on the PBlaze7 7A40. Utilizing the latest 2Tb NAND flash dies, this series offers:
Extreme Density: Capacities range from 15.36TB to 122.88TB, enabling nearly 3PB of storage in a standard 2U server—a density 10 times higher than mainstream storage systems.
High-Speed Interface: Supporting the PCIe 5.0 high-speed interface, it reaches a sequential read bandwidth of 14.2 GB/s and 4K random read performance of 3.05 million IOPS, double that of mainstream high-capacity SSDs.
Competitive Write Performance: Sequential write performance reaches 4.1 GB/s, with 4K random writes up to 230K IOPS, placing it at the forefront of high-capacity SSD performance.
AI Training Acceleration: The series can easily host AI training datasets of hundreds of terabytes or even petabytes on a single platform, reducing data partitioning and migration while significantly shortening training cycles and accelerating AI model iteration.
The debut of the new PBlaze7 7A40 series reflects Memblaze's core philosophy of pursuing "Extreme" performance and reliability in enterprise storage. By providing more efficient and reliable products, Memblaze helps customers seize new opportunities in the waves of digitalization and intelligence. Leveraging the Tech Week Singapore platform, Memblaze remains committed to collaborating with partners to drive the evolution of cloud and AI infrastructure.
