Samsung begins mass production of SSD for Nvidia Vera Rubin

Samsung Electronics has begun mass production of a new high-performance solid-state drive designed specifically for Nvidia's upcoming Vera Rubin artificial intelligence infrastructure. The announcement, made on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, positions the South Korean technology giant as a key supplier for next-generation AI data centers.

The new drive, the PM1763 enterprise SSD, leverages the latest PCIe 6.0 interface to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 28,400 MB/s and write speeds of up to 21,900 MB/s. Samsung states this represents more than double the performance of its previous-generation PM1753 model. The drive is built with the company's most advanced V-NAND flash memory and a new 4-nanometer controller. It is offered in 4TB, 8TB, and 16TB capacities, with product information suggesting future versions could reach up to 64TB.

A core function of the drive is to reduce data latency for AI accelerators and advanced processors, a critical bottleneck in AI infrastructure development. To sustain high speeds during intensive AI training and inference workloads, the PM1763 supports liquid-cooled server configurations. Samsung also reports the drive improves power efficiency by...
