3D TLC

Solidigm's datacenter SSD lineup includes models targeting different performance, endurance, and cost tradeoffs. Last year, the company had introduced the D5-P5336 QLC drive as a low-cost high-capacity drive for read-heavy workloads, while also preparing the SLC-based D7-P5810 for extremely write-intensive workloads requiring high endurance. The D7-P5520 / D7-P5620 Gen 4 drives with Solidigm's own 144L 3D TLC have been the high-performance offerings for generic workloads over the last couple of years. Solidigm is announcing the availability of the successor to the D7-P5x20 today - the new D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030. Both of these NVMe drives use SK hynix's 176L 3D TLC NAND and come with a PCIe 5.0 interface. The third digit in the model number matches the DWPD rating, with the D7-PS1010 targeting mixed workloads...
