Recently, Union Memory officially launched the AM6D1, its first consumer PCIe 5.0 SSD targeting the OEM market. Featuring sequential read speed of up to 11,400 MB/s, sequential write speed of up to 10,900 MB/s, and random read/write performance of 1,600K/1,150K IOPS, the AM6D1 not only pushes the boundaries of consumer SSD performance but also delivers powerful storage capabilities for scenarios such as AI inference, professional content creation, and high-end gaming entertainment.

 Performance Leap, Ultimate Smooth Experience: The AM6D1 leverages the PCIe 5.0 interface to deliver over 50% higher read/write speeds compared to PCIe 4.0. With its greater bandwidth and higher IOPS, it effortlessly handles intensive computational workloads such as 8K video editing and AI model training.

 Zero Lag, Consistent Reliability: The AM6D1 maintains performance fluctuation under 5% even under heavy loads, ensuring consistently smooth operation. Integrated end-to-end data protection and multi level ECC error correction help to build a robust security shield for mission critical tasks and core data.

 Better TCO, Full Lifecycle Cost Efficiency: Reducing acquisition costs through its DRAM Less architecture, and featuring deep sleep power as low as 3mW, the AM6D1 achieves comprehensive reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) from initial deployment to long term usage.

Comprehensive Performance Leap for Effortless High-Load Handling

The AM6D1 adopts the next generation PCIe 5.0 interface, delivering a comprehensive performance leap across all key metrics. Its sequential read speed exceeds 11  GB/s (up to 11,400  MB/s), sequential write speed reaches up to 10,900  MB/s, and 4 KB random read/write performance hits 1,600K/1,150K IOPS, representing over 50% improvement compared to the previous PCIe 4.0 generation. This performance breakthrough enables the AM6D1 to easily tackle a wide range of demanding workloads. Whether handling massive AAA games, real time editing of 8K ultra high definition video footage, or data intensive AI model training and inference tasks, the AM6D1 provides exceptional responsiveness and processing capability, fully unleashing the computational potential of CPUs and GPUs.

In benchmark tests using CrystalDiskMark, the AM6D1 consistently outperforms its rated specifications for both sequential and random read/write performance in typical scenarios such as QD8T1 and QD32T16. In PCMark 10 testing, the 512 GB and 1 TB variants achieved a score of 3,800, while the 2 TB model achieved a score of 4,000, further demonstrating its outstanding comprehensive read/write capabilities across real world application scenarios.

Ultra-Reliable Design for Consistent Storage Experience

To address stringent challenges of sustained stability under continuous high loads, the AM6D1 incorporates an innovative thermal management solution. By raising the DITT threshold and integrating an intelligent CPU throttling mechanism, the solution dynamically regulates drive temperature and performance, ensuring that even during prolonged high-intensity operation, performance fluctuation is kept within 5%. This renders consistently high performance for critical workloads such as scientific computing and AI inference.

For scenarios involving burst large file writes, the AM6D1 employs static/dynamic SLC write caching technology. This technology intelligently adjusts caching strategy based on real time load, significantly enhancing sustained write performance and preventing performance jitter or system lag caused by write pressure. As a result, content creators and software developers can enjoy smooth, uninterrupted workflows when handling large projects.

For data security, the AM6D1 integrates multiple high-reliability technologies including end to end data path protection, SRAM ECC, and CPU ECC. These safeguards establish a robust defense at every stage—from data write and transmission to storage—delivering comprehensive protection for users’ critical data and digital assets.

Performance and Efficiency in Harmony for Superior TCO

While delivering a significant performance leap, the AM6D1 also achieves an outstanding balance of energy efficiency and cost. The product adopts an advanced, highly integrated DRAM Less architecture, which streamlines the number of controller cores and DC DC modules to optimize manufacturing costs without compromising high performance output. For energy efficiency, the AM6D1 supports the ASPM L1.2 low power mode. This mode reduces power consumption to below 3 mW, which significantly extends battery life in laptops and other mobile devices. Additionally, the drive integrates multiple power management mechanisms such as LTR (Latency Tolerance Reporting) and D3 hot/cold states, enabling it to dynamically adjust its power state based on system workload. This ensures optimal energy efficiency while maintaining performance, ultimately bringing lower TCO to end users.

As a key deployment in Union Memory’s PCIe 5.0 Strategy, the AM6D1, representing Union Memory’s strategic move in the PCIe 5.0 arena, delivers peak performance and broad compatibility for seamless integration across leading OEM platforms. From high end workstations and AI development systems to gaming rigs, it provides a ready to use, out of the box storage solution that confidently meets the demands of the intelligent computing era.
