Published 21 February 2023

Exascend is once again pushing the envelope of SSD storage density with its 15.36 TB U.2 SSD. The PE3 and PI3 drives are available in standard and wide temperature configurations for deployment across varied enterprise and industrial workloads.

The Industrial-grade U.2 SSDs are capable of operating between -40 and 85°C, delivering true PCIe performance even in rugged and demanding applications.

Exascend’s 15.36 TB U.2 SSDs feature high I/O performance and low latency for optimized data processing time. The industrial-grade PI3 15.36 TB U.2 SSD offers read and write speeds of up to 3,500 MB/s, with 4K random read and write IOPs rated at 700K and 600K, respectively. The enterprise-class PE3 15.36 TB U.2 SSD also boasts 3,500 MB/s maximum speeds with its sustained 4K read and write IOPs sitting at 700K and 95K for the full drive test run.

All Exascend U.2 SSDs are engineered with Data Path Protection and Dual Power Loss Protection (PLP) technologies for optimum data security and integrity. The integrated hardware PLP design significantly reduces the risks of data loss and corruption in the event of  sudden power loss. Exascend also supports the configuration of 8 TB U.2 drives with RAID1 setting enabled, providing clients that prioritize data integrity and full recovery with the "automatic backup and recovery" functionality. As an added benefit, U.2 SSDs support hot-swap by design, offering an added layer of flexibility.
