As it stated in Analysis Supermicro's latest Samsung ruler-based thin storage server can cough up 10 million IOPS, has a 20GB/sec throughput and 576TB capacity, which is all very well, but its Intel ruler one can provide 13 million IOPS, 52GB/sec and a whole petabyte. We covered Sammy's PM983 NF1 SSD in June, saying it measured 11cm x 3.05cm, compared to M.2's 11cm x 2.2cm.
