Solidigm D5-P5336 60TB Drive with QNAP

At Gitex this year, I encountered the world's largest SSD: a U.2 60TB Solidigm drive ( D5-P5336) . As a storage enthusiast, I was immediately fascinated, especially thinking about its potential in a QNAP NAS setup. The drive was sitting there unassumingly at the QNAP stand—yet it represented a massive leap forward in storage technology.

Since the drive is on QNAP's QVL list, it was immediately recognized in a QNAP NAS. I ran a quick test, and the results exceeded my expectations. Considering this is a QLC drive, achieving a rate of 6.95GB per second is incredibly impressive.

Currently, MLC SSDs from most vendors are available up to 15.36TB, and we may see 32TB models launched by the end of the year.
