Designed to set a new benchmark for enterprise PCIe 5.0 SSDs, the 7A40 delivers up to 14.2GB/s sequential read and 12GB/s sequential write throughput, while its random performance reaches 3.4M IOPS for 4K read and 1.25M IOPS for 4K write. This combination sustains peak compute efficiency, keeping AI training and inference pipelines fully fed and running smoothly.

By fully leveraging hardware capabilities and advanced firmware optimizations, the PBlaze7 7A40 achieves 4K random read and write latencies of 50μs and 5μs, with sequential read latency further reduced to 6μs. These ultra-low latencies accelerate data access and responsiveness, ensuring consistent performance for even the most latency-sensitive AI workloads.

As data volumes continue to grow rapidly, high-capacity storage has become essential. The PBlaze7 7A40 delivers up to 30.72TB per drive without compromising performance, enabling efficient handling of massive datasets and large-scale context processing. Its superior performance-per-watt allows enterprises to consolidate storage infrastructure while significantly reducing total data center TCO.

The PBlaze7 7A40 Series is available in both 1 DWPD and 3 DWPD variants, providing flexible options for read-intensive and mixed-use workloads. Fully compliant with NVMe 2.1, it integrates enterprise-grade features including NVMe-MI over SMBus/PCIe VDM, Full Data Path Protection, Sanitize and Firmware Upgrade without Reset, simplifying large-scale deployment and lifecycle management while ensuring reliable protection for critical data.
