The ExaDrive DC100, which is built around 3D NAND flash, packs the 100TB of storage into the standard 3.5-inch form factor of a regular hard drive, which means that it can act as a plug-and-play replacement for existing server and storage platforms.
But having the world's largest capacity isn't the only accolade the ExaDrive DC100 claims. It's also the world's most energy efficient SSD, drawing as little as 0.1 Watts per TB, which is about 80 to 90 percent lower than the competition.
This reduced power consumption translates into power, cooling, and rack space savings of as much as 85 percent per terabyte compared to SSDs from the competition.
That 100TB capacity also means that a single 3.5-inch drive can offer eight times more capacity than the current largest hard drive.
On the endurance front, Nimbus Data offers a five-year warranty covering an unlimited DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day), in stark contrast to the regular two to five DWPD that the competition offers.
On the performance front, the ExaDrive DC100 offers up to 100,000 random read and write IOPS and up to 500 MBps throughput. While the random read speeds are only slightly better than regular enterprise-grade SATA SSDs, the random write speeds is very impressive. According to Nimbus Data, this performance also helps improve CPU performance by "50 percent or more."
The ExaDrive DC100 comes in both SATA and SAS flavors.
