SC24: Phison Pascari D205V PCIe Gen5 NVMe 2.0 Up to 128TB Data Center SSD in U.2 and E3.L Form Factors

Phison Electronics Corp. announced the newest addition and highest available capacity of the Pascari D-Series data center-optimized SSDs to be showcased at SC24 supercomputing conference in Atlanta, GA. 

The Pascari D205V drive (video) is the 1st PCIe Gen5 128TB data center class SSD available for preorder to address shifting storage demands across use cases including AI, M&E, research and beyond. In a single drive the Pascari D205V offers 122.88TB of storage, creating a four-to-one capacity advantage over traditional cold storage hard drives while shrinking both physical footprint and OPEX costs.

While the exponential data-deluge continues to strain data center infrastructure, organizations face a tipping point to maximize investment while remaining conscious of footprint, cost efficiency and power consumption. The Pascari D205V read-intensive SSD combines the company’s X2 controller and the latest 2Tb 3D QLC technology engineered to enable unequaled 14,600MB/s sequential read and 3,000K IO/s random read performance. By doubling both the read speeds vs. Gen4 as well as the capacity against the 61.44TB enterprise SSDs currently available on the market today, it allows customers to upgrade to larger datasets per server, top-tier capacity/watt utilization and unparalleled read performance.

“Since Phison introduced the Pascari enterprise product line in May, they have hit a new milestone in bringing an ultra-capacity option to enterprise organizations,” said Don Jeanette, SSD research VP, Trendfocus. “The ability to recapture power and rack storage efficiency while having the performance to support intensive workloads at PCIe Gen5 Speeds is critical in modern data centers. The timely launch of Pascari D205V continues to underline Phison’s speed and expertise in developing products that both meet modern requirements as well as optimize for scaled out workloads.”

“With the acceleration in AI training and data-intensive workloads there has been a tangible shift to a future-forward focus on storage as a critical component in capturing necessary volume to support data quality and integrity,” said Michael Wu, GM and president, Phison US. “With today’s launch, each drive maximizes capacity while reducing power, space and cooling constraints to minimize bottlenecks for transformative use cases. Customers can essentially push past previous infrastructure barriers to continue to scale as the market demands.”

The Pascari D205V is available for preorder for expected shipping in early Q2 2025 in the U.2 and E3.L form factors.
