De feiten
Performance
Sequential reads hit 13,000 MB/s, which puts this drive in the 96th percentile for speed. That's top of the charts territory. Random performance is solid at the 80th percentile, so it won't embarrass itself under mixed workloads. The 176-layer TLC NAND and DRAM cache keep things snappy. Endurance sits at the 65th percentile, which is fine for a data center drive but not the headline feature here. The real story is capacity and raw throughput, and this drive delivers both.

vs Competition
The Samsung 9100 PRO and WD_BLACK SN850X are the consumer champions here, and they'll fit in a normal M.2 slot without adapters. The Crucial T710 and Kingston Fury Renegade are also strong options for everyday use. But none of them offer 7.68TB in a single drive. The D7-PS1010 plays a different game entirely. It's for servers and workstations that need enterprise-grade capacity and PCIe 5.0 throughput. The Seagate FireCuda 530R is a great consumer drive, but it tops out at a fraction of this capacity.

Prijs
Value & Pricing
At $2,138, this is not an impulse buy. But for a 7.68TB PCIe 5.0 enterprise drive, that's actually reasonable. You're paying for capacity and speed that consumer drives simply don't offer in this form factor. If you need this much fast storage in a U.2 slot, the price is fair. If you're just looking for a big game library drive, you're overspending by a lot.

Overview
The Solidigm D7-PS1010 is a data center drive that somehow ended up on a consumer retail shelf. It's a 7.68TB U.2 PCIe 5.0 monster with 13,000 MB/s reads, TLC NAND, and a DRAM cache. This is not a drive for your gaming rig, at least not without some serious adapter surgery.
But if you have a workstation that can actually use a U.2 drive, this thing is a beast. Our scoring puts it at 84.7 for workstation use, which is excellent. Gaming lands at 57.2, and portable use is a sad 23.6. So know what you're buying before you click.
Common Questions
Q: Will this drive work in a standard desktop PC?
Only if your motherboard has a U.2 port or you buy a U.2 to M.2 or PCIe adapter. Most consumer boards don't have native U.2 support, so check your specs first.
Q: Is this drive good for gaming?
Not really. It scores 57.2 for gaming, and the U.2 form factor makes it impractical for most gaming rigs. A consumer M.2 drive like the SN850X is a much better fit.
Q: How reliable is this drive?
Solidigm rates it for 2,498,352 hours MTBF, which works out to about 285 years. That's enterprise-grade reliability, and the 5-year warranty backs it up.
Who Should Skip This
Skip this if you're building a gaming PC or a standard desktop. The U.2 form factor is a pain without adapters, and the gaming score of 57.2 tells you everything. If you need portable storage, this is a hard no at 23.6. Buy a consumer M.2 drive and save yourself the headache.
Verdict
This drive is for workstation users and homelab enthusiasts who have U.2 support and need serious capacity. If you're running a video editing rig, a data-heavy development box, or a home server that needs fast bulk storage, the D7-PS1010 is a standout. Everyone else should keep scrolling.
