In addition to the announcement of the new Samsung SSD 840 Evo lineup, during its 2013 Samsung SSD Global Summit in Korea, Samsung also revealed the new and world's first, 2.5-inch NVMe (Non-Volitile Memory Express) PCI-Express enterprise SSD series, the Samsung XS1715.

As noted, the Samsung XS1715 is the first 2.5-inch SFF-8639 SSD that uses PCI-Express 3.0 in order to provide sequential read performance of up to 3GB/s with 4K random read of up to 740k IOPS. To be available in capacities of 400GB, 800GB and 1.6TB the new Samsung XS1715 is up to 14 times faster than a high-end enterprise HDD and up to six times faster than Samsung's previous high-end SSD offering.

Samsung's new XS1715 can be found on the NVMe Integrators List, which makes it an easy-to-manage and highly reliable solution for data center and server storage customers.

Samsung also noted that it will continue to develop a variety of NVMe SSD products over the next several years and promises increasingly high performance levels with future products.
