Random reads come in at 1.6 M IOPS, while 16 KB random writes clock in at 45K IOPS. Based on the quoted random write access granularity, it appears that Samsung is using a 16 KB indirection unit (IU) to optimize flash management. This is similar to the strategy adopted by Solidigm with IUs larger than 4K in their high-capacity SSDs.<\/p>\n<p>A recorded benchmark session on the company&#8217;s PM9D3a 8-channel Gen 5 SSD was also on display.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.anandtech.com\/doci\/21526\/pm9d3a.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/images.anandtech.com\/doci\/21526\/pm9d3a_575px.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The SSD family is being promoted as a mainstream option for datacenters, and boasts of sequential reads up to 12 GBps and writes up to 6.8 GBps.
