DapuStor introduces Haishen5 Series Enterprise NVMe SSD for PCIe 5.0

DapuStor has started mass production for its highly anticipated PCIe 5.0 SSD product line - the DapuStor Haishen5 Series. This milestone marks DapuStor as one of the pioneering companies initiating the production of SSDs powered by the innovative Marvell® Bravera™ SC5 controller.

Boasting remarkable performance attributes, the DapuStor Haishen5 Series represents an enterprise-level SSD meticulously designed for outstanding performance, minimal latency, and expansive capacity. Notably, the DapuStor Haishen5 Series achieves a substantial leap in performance, doubling the throughput compared to its PCIe 4.0 predecessors. With sequential read and write speeds reaching up to 14000/8000 MB/s, and 4K steady-state random read and write speeds of up to 2800/600K, the DapuStor Haishen5 Series emerges as an exceptional choice for critical cloud applications, particularly in scenarios that demand heightened performance requirements.

Beyond its exceptional performance, the DapuStor Haishen5 Series offers a multitude of advantages, including low latency, exceptional QoS performance, data security encryption, and diverse form factors like U.2, E1.S and E3.S. Furthermore, it supports QLC NAND, presenting a comprehensive solution with enhanced performance and reduced costs tailored for read-intensive application scenarios, thereby providing increased flexibility and choices to customers. The integrated internationalized supply chain ensures a consistent supply of high-quality products, enabling the DapuStor Haishen5 Series to meet the diverse needs of customers across various application scenarios worldwide.

The DapuStor Haishen5 Series fully harnesses the advantages of the Marvell® Bravera™ SC5 SSD controller. Collaborative efforts between the research and development departments have introduced innovative features such as SR-IOV and CMB to the DapuStor Haishen5 Series. SR-IOV, utilizing the abundant PF and NVMe queue resources of Marvell’s Bravera SC5 controller, equips data centers with efficient and cost-effective virtualization solutions. CMB, on the other hand, unlocks new possibilities for emerging high-performance storage architectures, promising a transformative user experience and significant advantages within crucial application contexts.
