Exascend, a global leader in advanced storage and memory solutions, today expanded its power-efficient PE4 enterprise SSD line with two new 7 mm U.2 models: 23.04 TB and 30.72 TB. Delivering up to 4.5 TB of storage per millimeter of thickness, these drives delivers best-in-class capacity currently available in a 7 mm form factor while cutting typical power consumption in half. The new PE4 models enable system integrators to maximize capacity in edge servers, rugged industrial computers, on-premises AI nodes, and space-constrained data centers where every watt and every millimeter count.

The PE4 30.72 TB doubles the density of competing 7 mm U.2 SSD and enables up to 737 TB of flash in a single 1U server, cutting rack space requirements by 50 percent compared to 15 mm drives and delivers a two-fold jump in TB-per-U efficiency. With active power draw of just 7 watts and under 1.5 watts at idle—a 70% reduction versus typical alternatives—these drives excel at applications where power budget is limited. This efficiency helps lower energy costs and supports sustainable operations by minimizing cooling requirements.
